Question: There is this context:

We first have to ask ourselves what it means to travel back through time. **What would it mean for me to go back to the Continental Congress held in Philadelphia in 1776**, in order to witness the signing of the Declaration of Independence?"

What's the meaning of “what it means for {someone} to be in some place”?

I had a similar question about what it means for something to be something:
 [What's the meaning of "what it means for {something} to be {something}"?](https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/201303/whats-the-meaning-of-what-it-means-for-something-to-be-something)

but in this context, I don't think the previous question has the answer for this one. I don't get it what it means for me to be in a certain place. if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Answer: 
I agree with the tendency of the many comments to your question.

Userr2684291 directs our attention to a [scene](https://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Elizabeth-The-Golden-Age.html) in which Elizabeth I says the line "What would you have me do?" 

As I read that scene, Elizabeth means to ask "What would you like me to do?" But her implication is rhetorical. She means that if you consider that question, "What would you have me do," you will realize that the proposed answer ("Cut out" half the people of England) is obviously a bad answer; and therefore Elizabeth has no real alternative to the plan she favors.
Just to be clear, "What do you have me do?" and
"What do you have me to do?"
are both incorrect English.
I think @FumbleFingers has it right.
