OTL, the 22nd Amendment was passed, preventing Presidents from running for more than a single Presidential Term, which ironically bit Republicans in the rear along with Democrats as Eisenhower and Reagan could've definitely run for a third term if they so wished but so could Democrats Bill...

As we all know Deng Xiaoping laid out the succession of power in China for 2 generations after him- first he was succeeded by Jiang Zemin in early 90s and then Jiang was suceeded by Hu in 2002. While both such transitions are considered to be very smooth, Jiang didn't give up all his posts in...

Before becoming Secretary of Defense during H. W. Bush's presidency, Dick Cheney served as the house minority whip for a brief period of time before being chosen as SoD after Bush failed to get John Tower passed through congress. He would be succeeded by Newt Gingrich who would continue to rise...

I am working on a AH scenario which revolves around some 90s PoDs. The main one being the success of 1993 WTC bombings and ''War on Terror'' starting 8 years earlier. Another one PoD is also in 1993 and its about Alexander Rutskoy and the Supreme Soviet impeaching Yeltsin. This leads to the...

(So, this is kind of a redo of this (https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-clinton-resigned-in-1999-a-collaborative-tl.525542/), but at the same time, it's not? While this was partly inspired by that, it's deliberately supposed to be a "worst-case scenario"-type thread for the year...

(Following the success of my first collab TL, which is still in progress, (you can check it out here: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-the-beatles-died-in-1964-a-collaborative-tl.525360/), I figured I'd make another one, and it's about a much more recent even that could've gone...

Several months ago, a story was bought up in the British media several times (just google "avian flu outbreak warning 1997") about a warning from UK scientists in 1997 that a severe avian flu pandemic was on the way, possibly from the far east. Obviously, and thankfully, this never happened -...

“Now we can’t say that the aircraft has even crashed. We don’t know that. What we do know, it’s been missing now for quite a long time, because it was due to arrive in Martha’s Vineyard--according to the best available information--sometime before midnight last night. So it has been missing on...

Let's say the Gennifer Flowers scandal tanks Clinton- forcing him out of the race before Iowa. Carville is brought on to the Wilder campaign and encourages him to throw all his eggs in the NH basket. He comes in a surprising second place showing a la Clinton. Jackson endorses Wilder, encouraging...

"A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers." - President John F. Kennedy Hello all. Through my four years on this site (and many more years of lurking), I've never actually made a thread dedicated to a timeline of mine. In...

I have started a number of timelines on this site that either grew too expansive or too narrow in focus and I felt I had to abandon eventually. My longest run was about 18 chapters, so I decided to make this timeline nice and simple. There will be 20 chapters, one for every year from the...

What if this in election scenario you have Democratic presidential nominee Jerry Brown who came in second place after Bill Clinton run as Independent? This might be a bit of unrealistic scenario but let's have this election the same with Bush, Clinton and Perot running but now with Jerry Brown...

BREAKING- Prime Minister injured in London Bomb Attack - BBC News - 26th June 1999 The Prime Minister Tony Blair and several other people have been badly injured in a bomb attack presumed to be targeting him in London. The bombing is reported to have happened near Aldgate Tube station, and...

Mario Cuomo was a politician most well known for his liberal beliefs and oratory skills, most notably his "Tale of two cities" speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention. Since then, he was considered a favorite for the 1988 and 1992 presidential nomination. However, both times, he...

Say Bill Clinton figures Gore is just as capable of being President as he is, and will be more effective as President without a black mark, and decided to resign. How does that change 2000? Does incumbency push Gore over the line in Florida, or does the scandal actually hurt him more? What would...

Figured this was timely moment to review this potential PoD. Some choice comments from last discussion:

Accountability: The Fall of Bill Clinton January 25, 1998 It was going to be a relatively nice day, the high near 45. Sunday traffic was lighter in D.C., not that it mattered for the President’s motorcade. But despite having the ultimate right of way, it was still a few minutes behind...

In 1991, New York Governor Mario Cuomo famously dithered over whether or not to run for President in the upcoming Democratic primaries. Ultimately he decided not to run, claiming that New York's budget problems were too much of a distraction, and Bill Clinton was nominated instead. Had Cuomo...

If G.O.P decided that President Bush needed a new V.P candidate in order to win reelection (I'm not saying it would succeed) who would be Quayles successor as the Republican V.P candidate?

Apparently Clinton came very close to changing his mind about running in 1988. Suppose he doesn't run for President that year after all. Who wins the Democratic nomination, and how do they do in the general?
