I knew that… LOL. On to the next issue then I guess. :) Maybe I should actually read the card next time.
@CF_Kane after you update the tracker.
The good people of Indiana Territory have petitioned for admission to the union. Admission of Indiana is a difficulty 2 issue for Secretary of State and Congress. If passed, it admits Indiana and provides one popularity. If failed or ignored, no effect, and it moves to the next deck. Indiana has 6 electoral votes in Era B and 11 in Era C.
Indiana borders Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Michigan.
Over to @Cuthbert to name a Secretary of State.

No need for such extreme measures
Rufus King Accepts. Mr. President (@Cuthbert), may I rely upon your Influence to help get this before Congress?

I think Bruce’s accent is gradually getting further and further into the past…Yes with 18 votes
Indiana is admitted with unanimous support in Congress.
The next issue on the table concerns the native inhabitants of the lands purchased from the French and conquered by the United States. Should they be removed from their land, to clear the way for westward expansion, or can some accomodation be found?
The Indian Removal Act is a difficulty 4 issue for the Secretary of War and Congress. If resolved: Public Support 2 to Conservative. 3IP to Conservative Leader. CJ may cancel and place in next deck. President may override cancellation at cost of 2 popularity. +1 popularity.
If failed or ignored, place in next deck. No change in popularity.
@Cuthbert, to you to appoint a Secretary of War or ignore.
Appoint James K Polk Secretary of War and turn the issue over to the Vice President
Polk will resolve the Indian Removal Act
Vote Nay with 5 votes
On General Principles.
