Probably asking too much but do you have a story for these? Would kill to see this TL. Also do you have any other Elvis albums other than these?
In a alternate world where Elvis got off the drugs and revives his career in the 80's.

The Interplanetary Brotherhood of Teamsters, Longshoremen, and Transport Workers cans trace its origins back to the early 20th Century Labor Movement. However it’s modern form can be traced back to the 2086 Agreement that more or less brought most workers involved in the movement of goods and people under the authority of the Union. Although China’s State Unions remain aloof, virtually every other group involved in interplanetary transit has been *convinced* to join the Teamsters.
The Teamsters are a force on every settled planet/planet group. Unlike many unions, who have issues with locals “going native” and breaking off from the Earth bound, the Teamster’s focus on connecting planets has left them cohesive, making them the singularly most powerful Union in the Solar System.
The Teamsters have been accused of connections with organized crime such as the Casa Nostra, the Triads, and the dreaded Marsfia. Union President Jane Hoffa, the direct descendent of early Teamster leaders, has denied such charges. Hoffa was recently acquitted of corruption charges, after a hung jury at Tranquility Base.
"I've always felt that a member of Congress should go to Congress having had some real-life experience, having been successful in some pursuit. Al Bell was a success in business before going to Congress and he also rolled up his sleeves and served his party. Today, a lot of businessmen sit on the sidelines and complain and whine. Not Al. He served and he served with honor. For sixteen years he served in Congress, always voting his conscience but always serving the people of his district, never forgetting who sent him to Washington. Today, the political mood in Washington is not too pleasant. I sometimes blame the intrusive, unaccountable national press for this. But I think it is also fair to say that often people go to Congress not to serve but to get ahead. We need more Al Bells. As a friend, I am happy to salute him and to congratulate him on his flawless service in the U.S. Congress. He showed his state and nation a lot of class."A little sneak peek wikibox for a TLIAW/TL I have planned, in which the point of divergence is that S. I. Hawakaya does not run for Senate in 1976, leading on to Bell winning the nomination (and eventually winning the general election). Feeling ambitious after his win in '76 (according to his autobiography, Bell had his eyes on higher office when he ran for the Senate, so let's assume his want of higher office continues on), Al runs for President in 1980 and wins.

His hand would be forced at that point.It was more about the whole "not wanting to go to war" thing, but the annexation bill had already been signed and sent off to Texas by Tyler during his last days in office. I'm just wondering publicly that if Texas had approved the bill and accepted statehood, would he refuse to sign off or would his hand have been forced at that point? He would have be defying most of Congress, the previous President, the government of Texas, a plurality of the voting population (according to TTL's '44 results), and setting himself up for a dramatic political fight with the South in the early days of his presidency.
I think Arthur Sewell would in this scenario, Guy712. I assume that since he was the Bryan's running mate on the Democratic party, with Bryan got elected for in this scenario.So who becomes the VP?
