presidencial term

Your challenge is to have a president somehow, no matter how unlikely or cutthroat the circumstances may be, serve more than the seemingly hard limit set at 10 years in office. As it stands following the passing of the 22nd amendment, an individual can serve 2 elected terms of 4 years...

As the title states, give the USA the most amount of female Presidents - I have posted this in after 1900 for obvious reasons, but if somehow you can have one be pre-1900 that would for sure be allowed too (a successful Victoria Woodhull campaign, perhaps?) Regardless, Good Luck!

Your challenge is to concoct a scenario in which a political family (Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, etc.) has the most individuals hold the oval office. My personal best bets would be the Roosevelts or Kennedys, which is why I've posted this in post-1900, but earlier is definately allowed too! Good...

The loss of presidential candidate George Stanley McGovern to incumbent President Richard Milhous Nixon during the 1972 United States presidential election remains one of the most embarrassing defeats of any presidential candidate to this date, and the margin of victory for President Nixon was...

“When they told me yesterday what had happened, I felt like the moon, the stars and all the planets had fallen on me.” - Harry S. Truman to reporters the day following his ascension as the 33rd President ————————————————————————— People always want to know where I was when I heard the news. I...

OK, so Rev. Jesse Fucking Jackson. The best thing to come out of South Carolina since Mt. Rushmore. One of the U.S.'s best fucking Presidents, and not just because he became America's first AA leader just 24 years after the Civil Rights Act was passed. He and VP Ted Kennedy (RIP) did some...

In a previous thread, I proposed the creation of a semi-presidential system with some guidelines. The question was when the mandates of the Head of State and the Head of Government should last. They recommended that the elected Head of State should last 8 years in office while the elected Head...

It is an alternative story, I am separating the Executive Power into two persons (Head of State and Head of Government) who will be elected separately. I am undecided on the duration of Mandates. At the moment the Head of State lasts 6 years without re-election and the Head of Government 4...

Version 2.0 of my previous post I'm developing an alternative story about Mexico with a POD between 1890-1910 and I wanted to make it different in some aspects. So these would be my changes: * The Executive Branch will be divided into two positions: ** The President would be elected by...

Presume if Josette Sheeran ran for the oval office and somehow manage to persuade the media and the public interest to vote for her, and after the inauguration, how would it play out differently under a Sheeran administration? Please don't ask me why she couldn't able to nor having interest to...

Presume if Colin Powell ran for the oval office and manage to persuade the media and the public interest to vote for him, and after the inauguration, how would it play out differently under a Powell administration? Colin Powell, (born April 5, 1937), is a United States statesman and a retired...

Robert Michael Gates (born September 25, 1943 in Wichita, Kansas) is an American statesman, scholar, intelligence analyst, and university president who served as the 22nd United States Secretary of Defense from 2006 to 2011. He was originally appointed by President George W. Bush, but was...

As you know, since George Washington sought a second term in 1792, almost all presidents have sought re-election, for example Jefferson, Cleveland, Wilson, Roosevelt, Reagan, Clinton, etc. How different would it be if presidents could not seek a second term? who would have been presidents...

As the title says, if the president has a 5-year term (regardless of whether or not he or she is eligible for re-election), how long should the terms of the Senators and Representatives be? Five years as President? Four years? Chairman: 2005-2010 Senate: ?-? Representatives: ?-? Proposals?

just like the title says, what if Incumbent President Harry S. Truman had ran for President in 1952? Would he have won? If so how does his third term gone? How does this affect both the 1956 and 1960 elections? Does he run for a fourth term or not? Could he have beaten Eisenhower?

I read on a few forums that in 1913 there was a proposed Amendment to the US Constitution to limit the Presidency to one, 6-year term (we learn sth new every day :D) If there's anyone out there who can elaborate more on this Amendment, please educate me. Anyway, this Amendment seemed like it...
