WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies Before the Electoral College Meets in December 1912?

I'm referring to his strong support for the death penalty.

Would that matter in 1918?

Opponents of the death penalty did exist then (notably including Marshall, who iirc made an unsuccessful attempt to abolish it in Indiana) but I didn't think it was a hot button issue at that time.


I'm looking for a liberal fellow to balance out Britten; how about William Allen White? :) ;)

Could be. I'm not sure what counts as "liberal" in the Republican Party at that time. Would Charles G Dawes qualify? Of course there's Hiram Johnson, but getting him to accept the Vice-Presidency could be a tough call.

A single term Presidency would have a tremendous influence on the nature of politics.


Although it could be reversed quite easily later on.

Could, but would it?

After all, the 22nd Amendment is over 60 years old and looks pretty permanent, and the 6YT Amendment would be only slightly more restrictive.
