What if Mormon prophets, really fased competive elections like Popes.
Instead of just automatially electing the oldest Apostle, when the prophet passes, what if The council of 12, really did a Catholic style conclave.
That would be interesting, the former RLDS, even though they kept the Presidency among Smith's desendences, encouraged compitation.
Even thought the Mormons were organised in 1830, I list this here because the unwritten rule began in 1900.
