Could Bill be forced out?
Would Gore be able to parry the resulting fallout and win in 2000?
Thoughts?

You never know. It would certainly have a massive effect on the 2000 election.

No he wouldn't. Gore would be the tenth accidental President. Gore would win in 2000. The economy was good and he had no scandals.

A day or more earlier, he wouldn't be allowed. |

Bill Clinton can be successfully convinced to resign if a lot of prominent Democrats will say that, while they don't think that he should be impeached for this, they do think that his behavior was inappropriate and thus warrants a resignation. Dems need to form a united front in regards to this in order for this to have any chance of actually working, though. As for 2000, Al Gore would almost certainly win. After all, he lost by 537 votes in our TL and, as the incumbent President, it should be pretty easy for him to get an additional 538+ votes in Florida in 2000. |
