Should Polk run for a 3rd term?

[matthewyoung123]

In the 1840 play test, James K Polk won the 1852 and 1856 election for President, but didn't have a mandate either time.  Party preference in 1860 is about neutral (+1 Red) and several ideologies are +3 Blue for enthusiasm.  He has won the 3rd Seminole War and has a Natonal +1 for a Kingmaker relationship. However, there is a deep ongoing Domestic Stability crisis and he has a -1 in New England (a Whig stronghold) because of putting down John Browns slave rebellion. He also took historical losses in the midterms of 1858.

So, should the frail and unlikable James K Polk (who has already lives past hia historical death date) run for a 3rd term, or retire and let someone else lead?

We Polked them in 1852 and 1856, now we're gonna Polk them again in 1860!

I’m not going to vote, but it would be interesting that a politician who historically pledged to serve only one term would aim for 3. I remember at one time I considered adding a trait that would allow someone to seek a 3rd term if it’s legal. I ended up not doing it because it’s hard to determine who would have that ability and who wouldn’t of those who were never president.

What would the mid 1800's version of this be

You didn't vote no, though, because I'm the only no voter, despite the fact that Polk not running makes more work for me as GM 😛

Also, just to be clear Polk doesn’t have the +1 from the kingmaker. That relationship broke once he became president.

12 more hours for the poll before we move on with the result!
