The next President was not elected or reelected in 1978.

I’m too lazy to check out Reuben Askew’s page to confirm whether or not he’s disqualified.

Part III: Shakedown, 1979

"Oh, 1979. One of the single most consequential years in world history."

"So, the Democrats had landslided Republicans. Again. And then Iranians started taking to the streets. We were very nervous, because the energy crisis would've been exacerbated exponentially. So when Reza Pahlavi was forced to flee. I recommended some...drastic measures."

In order to ensure the rights of women and minorities in Iran, we must ensure that the internationally recognized Pahlavi dynasty is reinstated, so constitutional, lawful order is returned to Iran. These radical religious extremists cannot take hold in Iran. That's why I'm announcing Operation Iranian Freedom, a full-scale invasion of Iran to depose these radicals and reintroduce the constitutional order.

Oh wow. I support this operation and want it to succeed, but considering the nature of the Reagan Presidency here... I doubt it will.

A question, though - without a GOP Senate, how does Reagan have leverage for his budget/spending cuts?

His near-landslide in 1976. His argument was that he had a mandate to govern, so he was able to get enough Democrats to go along with that.

Yes, they’re the embassy hostages.

Can we get a whip count of who in the Senate supports conviction on impeachment (or at least impeachment)?
