Appoint my able son, John Quincy Adams (@Ironsight) as Secretary of the Treasury. We need to increase our income. Much danger is on the horizon. Propose a Tariff III. @CF_Kane
Tariff III is passed by Treasury and the Congress. It is a difficulty 4 issue that provides +1 popularity. If resolved, it increases Revenue by 10 and provides 1IP to the Conservative Party leader.
@Brooski is up first to vote.
As a formality JQ Adams is happy to accept the office. Thanks pops. :)
Edit - Speaking of pop he gets +1 for the office when you get a chance @CF_Kane. No rush.
A tarryfe? Nay, what are we become, the knaves who spawned us??
Vote NAY with 12 voughts
Done. I have to say I love the father son dynamic we’ve got going here.
Yes with 12 votes
Jefferson votes no with 12 votes.
The first act of the Adams administration was to pass the Tariff Act of 1797, a reward for the voters in the Northern states that brought him to power. The Tariff Act of 1797 brought in additional revenue, but much less than the Tariff Acts of 1789 and 1794. Some warned that the United States was reaching the point of negative returns on tariffs, and would lose out on revenue if tariffs were increased again.
(Revenue +10, to 40. 1IP to Adams, to 2. 1 Popularity to Adams, JQA, to 14 and 7, respectively).
@Navaronegun, any other business before the first issue?
I have 1IP in my notes. I will check the card as soon as I can to see if I mistyped.
The tracker says 2IP.
Yeah, but I thought J Adams had one before resolving the tariff.
He did have 1.
