Yes, but then the later would be pretty old and his health wouldn't get any better.He could be President later than JFK, you know...?
OOC: So? James Von Brunn was 88 when he shot up a Holocaust memorial in Washington DC.Yes, but then the later would be pretty old and his health wouldn't get any better.
Of course! Who else could have been the first black president? Barack Obama?Hard to say. JFK being the first President to be removed from office is certainly a significant event that shaped the politics of America in the 60's and 70s'. The massive distrust of government that followed this was one of the reasons why an outsider like Martin Luther King, Jr. got elected in '64 and '68. Maybe MLK wouldn't have been elected at all?
And since JFK's impeachment meant LBJ was President for two years (and he was wildly unpopular, due to the distrust of the Kennedy administration), maybe JFK would have won a second term? I really don't know. Hard so say.
Do you guys think MLK would have still gotten elected at all?

OOC: I'm sorry but an African-american being elected POTUS in 1964 is extremely unlikely.The massive distrust of government that followed this was one of the reasons why an outsider like Martin Luther King, Jr. got elected in '64 and '68.
