ShortKing Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Liberal Republicans will run Congressman Wolfenden for House Minority Whip and endorse Short for House Minority Leader. We will also be running La Follette for Senate Majority Leader and will endorse Senator Blaine for Whip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnewt Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Pending other announcements, we’ll support the following slate of Democratic leadership: Sam Rayburn for Speaker Cordell Hull for House Majority Leader hold off on endorsing House Whip Huey P. Long for Senate Minority Leader tentatively support Robert Wagner for Senate Whip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbrella Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Actually, I don't think anyone can challenge Hayden for Senate Minority leader: An incumbent cannot be challenged for their current position by their party unless they either do not meet the prerequisites of their current role, or a faction’s ideology enthusiasm drops below neutral. In the latter case, the challenger must come from the below-neutral faction enthusiasm ideology. Both Long (LW Pop) and Wagner (Lib) are not from the below-neutral faction's ideology. I'm in discussions with other players, so I am temporarily rescinding my statement about not running for House Whip.

Only challengers for the Senate Minority leadership can come from Moderates and Conservatives, so @Umbrella and BlueRight.

Yeah, and so by extension, that also applies to Senate Whip Robert Wagner. Which leaves the House Whip as the only open race on our side. Speaking of which... As we enter a new era of American politics, it's time to establish some of our young up-and-coming stars of the party. I am announcing that Harry S Truman will run for House Minority Whip. Truman is a man of the people, and good friends with Speaker Rayburn and Senate Minority Leader Hayden, so I'm sure he could convince them to look at your qualifications for both senate and house committee leadership positions in exchange for your support.

One of the master sheets (historical era maybe?) lists the minimum number of cards that should be in play for each ideology, interest, and lobby. Some of them say 0, but we later changed the rules that the minimum is 1 (unless no faction has at least five politicians with the relevant expertise or interest). So, all the “zeros” for card allowance for every era should be changed to “one” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umbrella Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I was prepping for house committee assignments, and I noticed we have a Rep Morris Hillquit (NY-2) who has a legislative power of 0. He probably shouldn't have been permitted to run, but since he's in the house, I assume I can't put him on a committee. Relevant rule: HOUSE COMMITTEE MEMBER: With the exception of the Ranking Member, this officer must be a Representative with at least 1 legislative ability. We'll just roleplay that his socialist agenda was too much for this congress, and he's been ostracized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slip ups or typos are to be expected in a database of 5000 politicians. I would say give him 1 Leg and let's roll on. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
