The most plausible scenario to me is 19th century America does not see Nativist movements succeeding in establishing immigration official polices. The restrictions on Asian owned buissnesses don't find enough support to get entacted or perhaps quickly ruled unconditional. Also, Perhaps, in this...

Perhaps, I'm wrong but I think a Hamilton-Burr Presidenecy would be consitutionaly invalid, as the US Constitution is in our timeline. Hamilton and Burr were both from New York. For electors to be able to vote for both men there would have to be no 'favorite son' provision preventing electors...

I'm sorry to have missed this post. It's very interesting especially in regard to the ramifications of historical outcomes. John Adams not being elected President makes a good deal of sense. I feel the elections of Washington is still unanimous makes sense and he still doesn't seek a third...

I don't think there would be much of a difference from the present. I think the French would have won with or without a Joan of Arc figure. As Joan of Arc didn't bring anything tactical to the French. The one sad difference is that the world wouldn't have the story of Joan of Arc's heroism and...

House Speaker does seem like it could come out as a successor to the Presidency. Though I'm starting to think Cabinet successors first would be the most practical solution. I feel despite whether or not Speaker is a more repersentive officer or if they would have seen The President of the...

Where the US adopting this in modern times I think that's a sensible solution. Though this being adopted where the spread of information was much slower, I feel the framers would not be Keen on organizing special elections in the even of death. Perhaps, I didn't address this clearly, but I...

I could see that being possible for President of Senate having a casting vote. Perhaps, argued by Federalists that this would be a good to help government run more smoothly. Though I could even see it being a deal-breaker to States adopting the Constitution, if the Federalists insisted.There's a...

The usual age of President pro-tempore is a good point. It's a point I neglected to mention. ( Thanks for supplying the correct spelling too. :) )

I love how you mentioned acting President. It was something that occurred to me while I was working. It's plausible to assume that were there no Office of Vice-President an equivalent of 'Tyler Precedent' would likely draw even more ire of the populous as Tyler was elected to the designated...

A couple significant or interesting outcomes I thought of. Not as pro-British: The first historical impact of this difference may be that the Jay Treaty wasn't ratified. As John Adams used his authority to cast a tie breaking vote in favor of ratification. Extrapolating the economic impact of...

I wonder what changes the development of The US would see if The US Constitution had a relatively small change in its formation and implications that could follow. The US did not have an Office of Vice-President. Perhaps, the Office of Vice-President is seen as contrary to the idea of...

That seems pretty logical. Having his own duke vouch for him, his name escapes, is in part what allows him to have a trial instead of just branded a hertic. Martin's ideas allowed excuses for German princes to ignore or challenge Rome's church taxes. Without the kind of decentralizzation, it...

I have wondered if the violence of the Protestant Reformation and the catholic response was influenced by Martin Luther's rather violent character, even if he personally only wished Catholicism to reform itself. He was pretty eager to advocate violence against revolutionaries. I largely...

There's a story, perhaps a myth, that on his way to law school Martin Luther was nearly struck by lighting and having survived the close encounter he decided to become a monk.Supposing it's true,which I feel is a little questionable, what if that lighting killed him? Did the protestant...
