IOTL Nixon proposed a single six-year term like they currently have in the Philippines. WI that passed? How would that affect US politics? POD 1968. Perhaps the rule that if the Veep succeeds during the term, then they're eligible for re-election, like GMA was in 2004. Otherwise if they've served more than three years they're barred from re-election. Tell me what you think of this list with a January 1968 POD.
