...yes, I know; mouthful of a title, but it gets the premise out fast. :p

Two events happened in OTL October 1912, within weeks of each other:

October 14: Former President and then-current candidate Theodore Roosevelt is shot by John Schrank before giving a speech in Milwaukee; he recovers.

October 30: Vice President James S. Sherman succumbs to Bright's disease.

The butterfly is this: ITTL, in the week in between those two events, President William Howard Taft suffers a fatal heart attack.

What happens?
