Say Anthony Lispenard who apparently wanted to vote for Burr, but in OTL didn't does vote for Burr and changes the result of the election of 1800 so that Burr wins, without the House's intervention. So Here is the first plausibility check: Does Jefferson accept this or not? or is deal worked out? Does Jefferson stay and hlep Burr and make a stronger vice president or does he resign in anger?

Okay so during Burr's presidency could we see moves for women's rights and towards abolition, if not completely but just beginning moves.

i don't doubt that Burr would accept the Louisiana Purchase without any of the quandary that Jefferson had, but does it still happen? And does the Louisiana Purchase secure Burr a second term?

Burr was more militaristic than Jefferson so we wouldn't see the same cutting of the military that Jefferson implemented OTL. And along the same line of Burr being more militaristic could we see Burr go to war over the Chesapeake and the Leopold or a similar incident? And in this war might we see an American victory due to the British being in a much worse position in Europe and due to the fact that the U.S. starts the war with a real military? And is it plausible for such a victory to encompass gains in Canada and even the Caribbean? Also would Burr support Napoleon or keep the American war separate from the Napoleonic Wars?

Motivated by Burr's pride could we see a early breaking of the two term presidency precedent with Burr running for a third term? And might the initial victories in this Anglo-American War give Burr that third term?

And if the war ended in victory could Burr possibly win a fourth term.



Now as a side question, what sort of domestic policies besides the ones I mentioned would Burr have during his presidency?
