Isn't it going to take 10 minutes before we all start killing each other if Washington isn't our king president?

The Whiskey Rebellion probably would go down either way.

Remember that electors cannot cast their votes for two candidates from the same state, so Iredell/Johnston, Washington/Jefferson, Adams/Adams, and Burr/Jay/Clinton are all out if you're playing as a strict constructionist.

I'm surprised the Founders didn't go whole hog with their Roman Republic love and have two presidents with authority alternating between every day.

I've been dreading this vote because I really, deeply love JQA and loving loathe Calhoun with every bone of my body.

Voting Clay/Sergeant mostly for Sergeant, who I'd never heard of before. Clay is a bastard but a pragmatic one who probably would have been a decent president (and certainly better than King Andrew).

Webster/Granger just by virtue of being the most anti-slavery ticket, as low as that bar is in this period.

Granger seems pretty decent all things considered, and Webster's at the very least tolerable

*cue a post with indisputable evidence that they were actually proto-nazis or some other horrible poo poo*

Daniel Webster was pretty decent for his whole career but then threw his legacy away by supporting the Compromise of 1850, going from beloved Whig statesman to detested turncoat instantly.
