I know random heart attacks are a bit of a cliche,, but considering the precarious nature of his heart health, and the stress Clinton was undoubtedly under during the Lewinsky Scandal, in this case, such a turn of events is at least a possibility. So, what happens if Clinton dies either in the middle of the Lewinsky Scandal/Impeachment drama, or shortly after his acquittal in the Senate? What does President Gore do, if anything, between becoming President and the 2000 election. What happens to Hillary Clinton? What impact if any does this have on the Republicans in the period following the abrupt end of the Clinton era, and how are they viewed? What kind of reputation does Clinton have here?
