Truly one of the most amazing timelines I've ever read. I truly wish this was our reality. I cant wait to see chapter two. I don't care who the next president is. I wish it was real.
That was one of the greatest timelines I have ever seen.

Thank you all!
The Reagan administration should be interesting.
I certainly hope so. He will be dealing with the energy crisis, a slowing of the economy, and Iran, but the first part of the next chapter will be on the 1976 election.
Would love to read more about the legislation passed. Wonder what was done regarding welfare and inner cities. Would also like to see a cabinet list. Great job!

I didn't change the cabinet that much because I honestly hate building cabinets.
Major legislation passed:
The Health Security Act of 1969, which established a universal single-payer healthcare system in the United States, administered under the cabinet-level National Health Administration.
The Hong Kong Accords, the template for peace in the Indochinese region
The Gun Control Act (I'm also not good with names), which placed weapons into four tiers and limited the access of weapons in the higher tiers
SALT I and SALT II
Taking the US off the gold standard
Beginning of normalization of relations with Red China
Formation of education department that put considerable power into the federal government for primary education.
