Not exactly true about writers. By that point, show runner Ira Stephen Behr and the writers had been informed by TPTB that Voyager would be considered the next "flagship" ST after TNG. At that point, they decided "What the hell" and wrote whatever they wanted. Some of the best ST, IMHO

Oligarchs in the 1930s Germany thought the same. They thought they could easily control Hitler. We all know how that worked out.

The Revolution of 1789 led to the guillotine led to the Terror, then to the Directoire, then Napoleon. France's government stayed screwed up until the 1870s with revolutions and ill-advised foreign wars. Historically, not an ideal solution.

The House impeaches (draws up charges). The Senate convicts. A bipartisan delegation of Senators met with Nixon, and informed him that the Senate, including the 1/3 of the Republicans, would vote to convict. That would be impossible now, as you said

J.P. Morgan died in 1913. But, by all means, send the DOJ to investigate him! Seance, anyone?
