Double vacancy Presidential election in odd years

In OTL it has never been necassary to actually implement provisions for succession beyond a Vice President. (It is much less likely since the 25th Amendment with the provision for replacing VPs)

The 1792 act on this issue, which applied until 1886 provided for a special election for a President and probably intended that such a President should serve a full term.

There were a number of occaisons when there could have been such a double vacancy. Madison was not a well man and at least only of his VPs died.

Andrew Johnson would have been dead had Booth found more effective co conspitirors. It is also possible that he could have been impeached and convicted in 1867...

Would the Constitution have been amended or would America be okay with Presidential elections in years when there were no Congressional ones.

Any other big butterflies?

I ask myself about elections in 1917- also as I think of it had McKinley been murdered as in OTL TR might have actually been elected in in 1901 election

Also how would an election after the crash but before the depression in 1929 have gone....

I think it is possible for a Presidential election to fall on a year without congressional elections. It be really weird since there would be times when there is basically an election three years in a row: congressional, presidential, congressional. And times when this isn't the case (it all depends on when and how many Presidents get killed).
As for butterflies, there less of a sense of political stability for the people, this could be a good system from which which a multi-party system could evolve.
Also money is being spent on campaigns at different times, and more often, than IOTL, which I am sure would have effects on people's lives. Since elections happen despairingly and without patter in ITTL the huge numbers of money that are spend in OTL on Presidential campaigns might not grow as such. There is less of a feel that elections are like the World Cup; a race that happens every four years and more of an actual political tool.
 
I can't help but think this makes it much easier for third parties to make a hail-mary play for the Presidency; if the Presidency is the only national election going on in a given year, personality can trump party more easily than if both parties are presenting full slates and thus drawing attention to themselves as bodies. TR in 1912 is the obvious one, but what about early William Jennings Bryan (before he assimilated into the Democrats)?
 
If elections are occurring more often, we might also see an even greater decrease in electoral interest. Take a look at Texas, where elections draw some of the lowest numbers in the US. This is because we have elections so often that voters develop exhaustion and apathy for the less dramatic elections. So if, as has been suggested, we see Congressional-Presidential-Congressional election cycle, there's a good chance that a lot of people will ignore the Congressional elections and just vote for President.
