A World in Chaos (The Great World Wide Earthquake of 1977)

All history seems to be the seem as in our timeline up to that day in 1977. Except The 1906 earthquake never happened. Which meant over the course of 71 years, pressure was building and building; so much so that when it happened in 1977 the whole world payed dearly for it!

Date: April 16, 1977

''The day of the quake was an absolutely gorgeous day. No one had expected that the world they lived in would be turned upside down in the matter of minutes. The World has not and never will be the same.''

 One - Nine Months Later 

Unable to deal with the pressure of the world situation, President Jimmy Carter steps down from the presidency and His vice president, Walter Mondale, takes the seat. He believesd that tougher leadership is needed now in this time of crisis. The congress was very much against everything he proposed and visa versa. The feud between the executive and legaslative branches becomes so heated that the congress, for political reasons and nothing to do with the law, plans to impeach the president. But before they could do anything the President himself commands a military unit to level Capitol Hill. He does so with ease. With little to no opposition he sets up a new government with him at the head of both the executive and legaslative branches.
