@Panzeh, Thaddeus Stevens rolls a modified 2 for his free speech. Want to spend IP or take any other actions?
Auction time. Bidding starts with @Navaronegun.
Passss @CF_Kane After @Brooski gets his card and decides if he is taking any other action I’m ready for the first issue.
Gave @Brooski his card. Any other plays @Brooski?
The first issue of Webster’s second administration was the question of statehood for Florida. The territory, oft described by President Dallas as a swamp, was now ready for admission to the union.
Florida Admission is a difficulty 2 issue for the Secretary of State and Congress. +1 popularity if admitted. Florida is worth 3 electoral votes.
@Ironsight to appoint a Secretary of State or ignore.
My gut was right, God-Voice Man! It was a Swamp, but boy I wanted it. Gonna retire there, maybe. Pennsylvania is too cold. Those Swamp People will probably build me a goddamn statue for buying it!
President Webster appoints the Honorable W.R. King as Secretary of State to resolve Florida statehood. He will need influence from his faction to surmount the difficulty of pushing swampland through Congress. @Navaronegun to accept, spend his IP, and then vote.
William Rufus King accepts the nomination, and his radiant young wife hosts an elegant and tasteful reception at his residence in Washington, with many luminaries invited who speak of Florida’s wondrous potential benefits to the nation (Spend 1 Faction IP). Many Congressmen are invited to this reception, including his bravo friend and pal James Buchanan (@Cuthbert).
Issue submitted to Congress. Who votes first?
The King-King-Bentonians vote “Yea” with 9 votes (don’t think you added Johnson to my faction on the doc yet, @CF_Kane ).
