    "1/6" An ATL Comic

    The good people at www.OneSixComics.com have created a graphic novel wherein the 1/6 Insurrection was successful in keeping Trump in office, although getting VP Mike Pence in the process....
  2. AHC; Out-manoeuvre the 22nd amendment - (That is, have a president legally serve more than 10 years)

    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...
  3. AHC; Give the US the most amount of female Presidents

    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!
  4. AHC; The most US presidents from the same family?

    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...

    What If: Double Vacancy in 1790?

    Like the title says, what if there was a double vacancy in the offices of the President and Vice President of the United States in 1790? One way to accomplish this scenario is for Benjamin Franklin to be elected President instead of George Washington (perhaps he dies shortly after the...

    WI: Grover Cleveland wins re-election in 1888?

    IOTL, President Grover Cleveland holds the distinction of being the only man to be President twice, as he was first elected in 1884, then defeated narrowly in 1888, before coming back in 1892. He lost in 1888 because he failed to hold two extremely narrow and competitive swing states, Indiana...

    WI: Franklin Pierce died in a train accident in 1853

    In OTL, on January 6 of 1853, weeks after his election, President-Elect Franklin Pierce, along with his wife and son, Jane Pierce and Benjamin Pierce, were traveling from Boston via train. Then the train-car derailed, and while Franklin and Jane Pierce survived the wreckage, their son Benjamin...
  8. WI: Hastert Presidency

    In a scenario that Bush was killed by Arutyunian in 2005 in Georgia (the country) and Cheney die of an heart attack after receiving the news (he has already three heart attacks before, the last in 2001), how would be the presidency of Dennis Hastert, the speaker of the house at the time...
  9. WI: President William Dudley Pelley

    The great depression somehow gets worse than it already was, then this joker runs in 1932 convincing the country that only strong leadership can fix the economy. What policies can he push within the confines of the constitution, would he use military aggression to advance American interests, how...
  10. More diversity in titles for republican heads of state?

    Republics throughout history have featured heads of states with various titles, but starting from the United States, "president" gradually became the norm. I would argue though that this fairly universal trend really only starts with the French second republic, as theirs was not a presidential...

    If Kennedy Lived by Jeff Greenfield

    Anybody else read this? I have the audiobook and Ive listened through it several times over the years. I feel the author gives it a good try and its entertaining but I think a little too optimistic. Too much goes right and too little wrong. Still worth a read (or listen) but thats my two cents.

    Kennedy's post-Presidential career

    I've heard what people think Kennedy would do if he weren't assassinated, but I wonder what he would do after. Assume he serves only the one term or both both if you want. What does he do after the Presidency? Does he stay in politics? Write books? Raise his family?
  13. Does Truman get re-elected after an atomic Operation Downfall?

    Would Dewey win in 1948 ITTL? Or someone else entirely?
  14. DBWI: No President Jackson in 88.

    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...

    Land of Confusion: A U.S. Timeline
    Threadmarks: 2000 Election I: Only 1% Off

    Author's Note: That's right, stepping into the Non-Gaming timeline ring! This is my take on a Gore presidency, though I do warn you all, there will be some twists you may not expect later on down the road. For now though, let's be fixated on the man, the myth, the legend himself, Albert Arnold...

    Long May He Serve

    Synopsis Suppose, if only for a minute, what if the longest serving president in America had served a little longer? Welcome to Long May He Serve, my timeline on that what if. We'll follow events starting off from April 12, when FDR actually died, and go on for as long as I can. So sit back in...
  17. Best solution for the term of office in a semi-presidential system (part 2)

    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...
  18. Best solution for the term of office in a semi-presidential system

    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...

  20. AHC: Jim Thorpe president of the USA

    Old memories... Not to mention what the History teacher answered to the guy who said this. I want him as President of the USA. When? You choose. I'd prefer PoD(s) after the Civil War.
