Camelot Revisited: A Timeline

There is a window of opportunity here, but it will likely be slammed shut instead of fully opened. Norton knows of what I speak.
 
Awesome, we''re slowly but surely getting out of the Assassination Attempt Aftermath phase...Keep it comming:D
I'm a' tryin'.

So Johnson's basically taking the 25th Amendment approach, even though the only precedent (Woodrow Wilson) was against it? Good for him, the country needs to have someone conscious and fully capable running it for now. Presumably the 25th Amendment will come through more or less as it is now (since it would essentially be legitimizing Johnson's move here and the previous "accidental Presidents", as well)?
The precedent (Wilson) assumed Wilson was still capable of leading the nation after his stroke. I believe a Congressmen was sent to investigate, and the First Lady did enough smoke and mirrors to make him report back that Wilson was fine. But Kennedy isn't getting booted out of office; the Vice President is just fulfilling duties until such time as the President recovers enough.

:) Nice update. I can't wait to see where all this is going.
There'll be some interesting things until we get out of assassination phase. Then there'll be a lot of interesting things.

Well done Norton. Take your time with this, take as much time as you need.
Thanks.

I am glad to see the thread return :)
Even if I leave now and again, I plan to keep it going.

I might know what you're talking about. Then again, there are a lot of windows of opportunity with a lot of players of this drama, and I'm dyslexic so that doesn't help matters.:D

Yeah, that's what I meant by "25th Amendment procedure". Woodrow Wilson was just the last example of a President who was disabled but not dead, though he would have needed a permanent replacement. Since Kennedy is obviously going to recover, Johnson just needs to step in temporarily while he recovers, which is what is going to happen, which is good.
 
Wow, you're crazy and have spammed my TL. I hate you on two accounts.

I just came across this and I anticipate more butterflies. :D
There shall be butterflies. At least enough to annoy me while I try to keep everything concise.

The TL will be back when the Beatles TL is done. The Beatles TL will be started when I can handle talking about the subject matter it pertains to.
 
Very good TL ! , although I would assume Jackie would stay at her husband,s side. I think the election of 1964, will proceed much the same as OTL. Goldwater was leading a powerful movement, I think he still wins the nomination and Kennedy wins by a landslide.
 
Great timeline!

Thank you.

Beatles Timeline ready yet Emperor Norton I? Where can I find it?

Poke Glass Onion with a pointy stick. I haven't been able to get a response from him for some reason. I'm ready to start whenever he is.

She probably will. 1964 will be interesting. I was planning on it being most likely Goldwater still, but it will have certain things besides that to make it interesting to the reader, and something which will pit New Frontier Liberalism head to head with Goldwater Conservatism, and RB knows what I'm talking about.

Whenever I start this up again, I really wanna get out of the assassination phase as soon as possible, and I think once I do, I think I'll change the writing style to something more academic, or at least try.

A question I realized I needed to work out still was how to get the president out of Dallas and back to Washington in his state.
 
Thank you.

By AF1? It isn't like they can drive from Dallas to DC.
 
But I need him to be transported safely without dying from not being hooked up to medical equipment or something. I'm not a doctor so IDK how that works.

Stabilize him in Dallas before being airlifted. Mav is banned so you can't ask him anymore, his father is a surgeon and Mav helped me with the ballistics for the Ambassador scene in TID. We'll forgive you for this shortcut, no point in twisting yourself into knots over it.
