    AHC: Make WW1 a stalemate

    Maybe another unsanctioned Christmas truce in 1916 where the troops ignore orders to resume hostilities. It sufficiently scares the leadership on both sides into believing they’ll wind up having armies start walking away from the front and turning on them. They decide to accept American offers...

    WI: Dick Cheney Became President in 2005 with Supermajorities in Congress?

    Maybe a 9/11 in 2003 that includes Bush killed in the attacks would get a GOP super majority. Especially if there was conflict between the administration and Congress before the midterms over fighting terrorism.

    WI: Dick Cheney Became President in 2005 with Supermajorities in Congress?

    We got it - you don’t like the scenario and don’t find it plausible. So please just go away and let the people who want to game it let it play out.

    WI: Dick Cheney Became President in 2005 with Supermajorities in Congress?

    Jeb Bush is the most likely VP pick. Does Cheney run in 2008?

    WI: Dick Cheney Became President in 2005 with Supermajorities in Congress?

    Unlikely does not equate to ASB. If you don’t like the scenario just ignore the thread. Besides a delayed 9/11 you could have the problems with Edwards as the VP candidate happening earlier and coming out before the election.

    WI: Dick Cheney Became President in 2005 with Supermajorities in Congress?

    The scenario envisions Cheney succeeding to the Presidency after Bush is assassinated.

    WI: Dick Cheney Became President in 2005 with Supermajorities in Congress?

    Balanced Budget Amendment? Term limits for Congress? I think both would pass. A pro-life amendment might get submitted, but would be unlikely to get ratified even with the numbers cited.

    Effects if Nixon resigns for health reasons instead of Watergate?

    The War Powers Act may not pass. Congress allows Ford to give more support to South Vietnam - delaying, if not preventing the fall.

    AHC: John Adams is Remembered as a Great President

    I think Jefferson would have run again. Interesting thought though is how Jefferson would have reacted to the Louisiana Purchase if Adams was the President?

    What if Ireland got northern ireland in exchange for joining nato and the commonwealth?

    Is joint sovereignty a possibility? Wherein NI residents vote for MPs in both the Republic and the UK, with a NI Assembly, committee or other body appointed or elected by each side to settle conflicts in laws regarding taxes, etc. Of course there would have to be some sort of formula on aid...

    Not as far as federal survivor benefits.

    Could the US have gotten more from Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo?

    Perhaps this lengthens the American Civil War. This in turn would make the French incursion in Mexico somewhat more successful at least until the Franco-Prussian War.

    Could the US have gotten more from Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo?

    Assume the United States negotiators had pushed their advantage to the limit in the Treaty ending the Mexican American War. How much additional territory could they have obtained? Baja, Sonora, Chihuahua, or some combination thereof? The populations of those areas were sufficiently sparse that...

    Question What would Uncle Sam do for a young pregnant widow of a US Navy serviceman in 1942

    Today if you die on active duty your spouse would also get any pension you were entitled to. I’m not sure about WW II, but my wife had an uncle killed in the Battle of the Bulge and his widow never remarried because she would lose his pension. It could be the widow’s pensions were enacted...

    AHQ: Canadian states and their names?

    I would see PEI being joined with New Brunswick. Ontario, and Nova Scotia have the same borders as today. The rest of the Confederation would enter as states with the following adjustments : Quebec is independent due to language, thus likely requiring an adjustment of the border with...
