If Taft were to die less than a month before the election, however, that means the U.S. gets an invalid President for a few weeks who himself dies less than a week before the election.Probably any day before the electoral college votes. I think when Taft dies, the Republicans will endorse TR. Any other choice means Wilson wins.
I'm speaking, of course, of James S. Sherman, who, OTL, succumbed to a longtime kidney ailment on October 30th. This would've made, under the succession of that time, then-Secretary of State Philander Knox a caretaker President for four months.
How do you think the country would react to that? Would the loss of two Presidents in one month warrant a profound push for UHC, do you think?
