Almost no accomplishment, primarily because Congress opposed everything he wanted to do. What I need most are historical legis props that passed during his presidency. I need like 7 or 8 legis props. I need some historical pres actions. I also need 1 historical SC case, whichever seems like the most historical or most interesting. JQ Adams is the great "what if" president because he has all sort of ideas that were never realized. John Quincy Adams (6th Pres: 1825-1829) Scripted Pres: Erie Canal Completed - 1825 US Banking per Capita Twice that of Britain - 1825 Congress of Panama - 1826 Gold Discovered on Cherokee Lands - 1828 Legis Prop: Tariff of Abominations - 1828 Pres Actions: n/a SC Cases: n/a Warfare: No warfare 1826: pres action or leg props- Military Training manuals standardized and created to address seniority of officers and integrate Union and state militias. Proposed first by Adams' war department and then made into laws by house/senate. 1826-1827: pres action - MFN Trade System, 1827: pres action- Adams proclaims all ports closed to British colonies over disagreements with tariffs, navigation and duties. 1828: pres action/us bank action- propose public sale of US Bank stock and sale of government securities to curtail outward flow of gold. 1828: pres action/sec state- Joel Poinsett (ambassador to Mexico and namesake of the Poinsettia)Agreement with Mexico setting the Sabine River as the border with Mexico, after unsuccessful efforts to encroach more into Mexico. 1828: pres action/potential leg Prop - Nicaraguan Canal proposed via Guatemala's ambassador, leading to a massive run of speculation and surveying of land in Nicaragua. Ultimately not finalized due to central American instability. Edited April 19, 2022 by 10centjimmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's too much of an almost to include here, might be worth including as a gambit available to AMPU players if the President and the Chief Justice share ideologies and the CJ has foreign affairs expertise.

I think he clearly has the highest impact legis props per year served. Anyway, he needs more historical pres actions.

Des Moines Independent Community School District (the main standard for school speech) would be appropriate here. Fraser builds off of the Tinker standard. Tinker also had a connection to Vietnam (specifically the protests). Edited April 19, 2022 by jvikings1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConservativeElector2 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Regarding a Biden era SC decision I find the most recent one - Thompson v. Clark - quite interesting. Not sure if it's significant enough but it deals with civil rights lawsuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
