Hello AH.com
Well, just in late December, I've made my own version of trying the most plausible largest territorial Ameriwank that could be made (but I'm still pretty much conservative on how big it could be) in this TL "The Cliche called Ameriwank"
Well, the POD is pretty much in 1774. But I'm on the opinion that even after independence in 1783, the Constitutional Convention would probably still meet around 1786 to 1787 isn't it? The country still needs to get to that "AOC moment" to finally realize that the Articles of Confederation must be revised. So here it is. I'm planning on creating this kind of an alternate US Constitution. Is this quite plausible?
The plan is pretty much making it appear that the original Articles of Confederation is just being amended, though DRASTICALLY amended. So amended Articles of Confederation will establish:
Confederation Congress- will remain a unicameral body, except that it is divided into two groups of Congressmen: senators, representing the states, and people's representatives, representing the people. Senators and representatives meet together and attend sessions together, given that they're part of a same body, but they voted separately. So a bill being deliberated on the general floor of Congress must be passed with both the "Senate" and the "Representative Group" agreeing to its provisions. There are three senators per state, and the voting process among senators is BY STATE, not by individual as it is in the representative group. The senator group pretty much have the same functions as OTL's Senate.
President of Congress- elected by the Congress for a four year term, with the Senate and the Representative Group voting separately. So there must be a consensus on who must be the President between the senators and the representatives. The President of Congress is pretty much a presiding officer in Congressional sessions, but it would also act from now on as the head of state; being commander-in-chief of armed forces and chief diplomatic official.
Executive President- This would be OTL's President, except without the military and diplomatic powers. He/She was elected in the same way as OTL, with a twist. Each "region" (consisting of different states to be determined by Congress, though by the convention at first) will have a chance of getting the presidency, with the candidates for in that specific election only coming from that region. The Executive President is also acting just as the head of a "collective executive", which is the Cabinet, with its composition to be determined by Congress. And based on the convention, by draw lots whatever, New England gets the first shot at the presidency.
Supreme Court- Pretty much like OTL.
In the end, I'm thinking of having George Washington as the President of Congress and John Adams as the first Executive President of the United States. Hahaha.
Tell me your thoughts.
