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

Appoint Daniel Webster (@Ironsight) Secretary of the Treasury.

Daniel Webster will meet the difficulty of the issue by spending one faction IP and seek to resolve the issue through Congress. @Brooski to start the voting.

Got my expansion in the mail just now and it looks great. Hope we can keep the game going when we get to that point.

The expansion should move a little faster too. The changes to elections in particular.

Dallas’s administration was marked by an increase in hostilities from the French. Disappointed in the failure of the United States to honor its treaty obligations, the French commissioned privateers to attack American shipping abroad.

French Attacks on Shipping is a difficulty 5 issue for the Envoy and Congress. If resolved, Reserves -40, 3 IP to Liberal Party Leader, +2 Popularity. May be sabotaged.

If failed/ignored, Reserves -15, -1 Popularity.

@Navaronegun, to you to appoint an Envoy or ignore.

Appoint James K. Polk (@Panzeh) Special Envoy to France.

Polk accepts and will use an IP to resolve the issue.

Congress to vote. @Brooski.

I’m going to be afk until later tonight so the Clinton-Webster faction casts 12 Yes votes to resolve the current issue. @Brooski

13 votes Yes

@Cuthbert

16 votes No @Panzeh

9 votes Yes

@Ironsight

Oh, he pre-chose.

Yes with 3 votes @CF_Kane

Next up is the admission of Illinois to the union. Admitting Illinois is a difficulty 2 issue for the Secretary of State and Congress. Illinois has 4 electoral votes in Era B and 8 electoral votes in Era C. Admitting Illinois is worth one popularity.

@Navaronegun to appoint a Secretary of State or ignore.
