Thomas Hart Benton Liberal from MO, 2M/2 with 3 votes, joins what is now called the King-King-Bentonian Faction
The next issue for President Polk is the admission of Wisconsin. Difficulty 2 issue for State and Congress. +1 popularity if admitted. Wisconsin has 4 electoral votes.
Assuming @Panzeh agrees to resolve this then Secretary Webster will send it to Congress for a vote. The Clinton-Webster faction casts 15 Yes votes. @Navaronegun to vote next.
Vote Yes with 8 Votez. @Cuthbert
You mean @Brooski, of course
Man, whattya got against Wisconsin?
OK, so that is 34 Yes votes which I believe means Wisconsin is admitted to the Union no matter now @Cuthbert votes unless I’ve missed something. @CF_Kane.
Secretary of State Daniel Webster came to President Polk with a proposal. He was confident that he could negotiate with his British counterpart, Alexander Baring, First Baron of Ashburton to resolve ongoing border disputes with British Canada.
Webster-Ashburton treaty is a difficulty 3 issue for the Secretary of State and Congress. If resolved, +1 popularity. If failed or ignored, Reserves -15, Public Support 1 away from President’s party, -1 Popularity.
@Panzeh, will you allow Webster to negotiate the treaty and present it to Congress?
Sec of State Webster accepts, spends one faction IP for the difficult negotiations, and sends the Treaty to Congress for ratification. The Clinton-Webster Faction casts 15 Yes votes. @Navaronegun
I spend 1 IP to get 3 more votes and vote 18 votes NO
@Brooski You start the voting with 12 votes so if you spend 1 IP you end up with 15, not 18. Do you still want to spend the 1 IP?
