Founding Fathers Forum Game: A republic, if you can keep it.

The Chief Justice will not cancel internal improvements.

@Cuthbert needs to appoint a new Sec of State but since there are no more issues and there is no pop gain from it, maybe we can dispense with it?

I agree that we can dispense with the appointment at this time. A tax or tariff can still be proposed, however, if President Hamilton is so inclined.

Assuming @Cuthbert has no further business, we would do the treasury phase and move to the election of 1808, the first Era B election.

In the treasury phase the US receives $56, bringing reserves to 38. There is no roll for economic collapse.

@Cuthbert, Alexander Hamilton is the Conservative presidential candidate.

@Brooski, Madison is the Liberal candidate. Madison picks his VP first.

So over to @Brooski to pick a VP.

Ok, I am in Seattle for the day so I will have to do this tonight when I get back, actually probably tomorrow morning as we will return late.

Sounds good. Enjoy Seattle!

Liberals nominate Aaron Burr as their Vice-Presidential candidate.

Does he accept?

@Ironsight

I was waiting on a clarification from @CF_Kane but I’m pretty sure I know the answer.

Burr accepts.

@Cuthbert to name his VP.

Hamilton nominates CC PINCKNEY as his running mate. @Ironsight

CC Pinckney accepts. @CF_Kane to handle cube placement.

@Cuthbert: Hamilton May elect to place first or second in the first phase.

I’ll place First

Obviously in NY. @Ironsight?

CC Pinckney has to play to the Carolinas. @Brooski

Edit - @Brooski has to play to VA for his first cube. Burr has to play adjacent to VA since NY is blocked. He plays to Ohio. @Cuthbert

@Cuthbert Pennsylvania and New England are available.

Pennsylvania

@Ironsight

CC Pinckney plays to Tennessee. @Brooski

Maryland

I believe Mr. Burr (@Ironsight) is up.

Burr has to play to Kentucky. @Cuthbert
