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

No Collusion, no charges!

Traditionally one waits for a new Supreme Court before bringing another test case…

Pressure from the Whig-National party on the Supreme Court resulted in a surprising switch by Justice Crawford at the end of President Dallas’s term.

We’ve reached the end of the turn, so it is time for treasury phase and the election.

The Treasury Phase: The United States has a healthy public fisc, with 191 in the treasury.

The Election of 1828

The Election of 1828 would pit President Dallas against James Monroe.

@Brooski, Monroe selects a running mate first.

Nominate A. Gallatin

@Cuthbert

Gallatin accepts

@Navaronegun to nominate

Btw can anyone list the states currently in the Union?

New England
New York
Pennsylvania
New Jersey
Maryland
Delaware
Virginia
The Carolinas
Georgia
Kentucky
Tenessee
Ohio
Indiana
Louisiana
Alabama
Arkansas
Mississippi
Illinois

Why we always win…

…that’s an ominous coda there

President Dallas nominates William Rufus King as his Vice-Presidential nominee. He accepts.

King invites James Buchanan (@Cuthbert) to accompany him on the arduous campaign across the nation (to help keep his spirits up).

The Conservatives will place first, @CF_Kane

The first three cubes are automatic:

Dallas - PA
King - AL
Monroe - VA

@Cuthbert has to decide now between OH, KY, or Carolinas.

Ohio (was not expecting to be nominated, shooting from the hip here)

@Navaronegun

President Dallas plays to Maryland, William Rufus King plays to Tennessee. @Brooski

I am nonfunctional for this until tonight. Sry :(

No worries, Mr. Monroe.

Updated this map in case it helps:

That’s Herrprofessorenziekrieg Monroe to you, Mr President.

Thanks Rick.

Monroe to Carolinas
