If vito was alive and not in power. Then just look at the reason Fredo lived as long as he did.
I should edit this..
I meant if Vito was still alive, perhaps still as Consigliere, perhaps not.. but ultimately, if he hadn't died that day in the garden.
I can't imagine Michael ever going ahead with it.
