Jefferson die?

Yes, he died about seven months into his 5th term!

John Rogers was the VP and became President, but didn't get the nomination from the D-R for the office in 1820 and lost out to Wood & Clay (we call it the Pottery Barn ticket).

My solo playtest I doubt he will be president.  Possible in 1812 but my personal rule is not to run for any office if you will be 70+ during term as death much higher and Jefferson would be 70 as term begins
