Cabinet members that have 4 or 5 admin, or have crisis admin and are dealing with a crisis relevant to their department, can propose legislation connected to their department, which must then be approved by the president.

@ShortKing Sec Madison and @dkh64 Sec Gallatin may make a proposal related to their department

@jnewt Pres Jefferson is a Domestic Warrior and can propose one bill for the Domestic committee who is guaranteed a committee vote

Gimme Venezuelan statehood

[jnewt]

And the President approves Madison's proposal and whatever Gallatin's proposal turns out to be

lol hold on. That might be in proposals for this era but we definitely don't own Venezuela.

I believe Jefferson just meant that we weren't doing the Louisiana Purchase, more like the Venezuela Purchase. 😛

Fine, if I can't forcibly annex other countries I want a life-term President Amendment.

If you all support this amendment, I promise to govern this country as balanced as possible. No bills vetoed, balanced cabinets, balanced Supreme Court. My only goal will be a modest one: to rule the entire western hemisphere.

The "Jefferson is a tyrant" propaganda is really writing itself this timeline.

Nationalist Chief Justice John Marshall finds this… acceptable. And more importantly, dare I say, Constitutional? 😈

I might be a tyrant, but I'm an honest tyrant

[DJBillyShakes]

I'm sure the Federalists would gladly rule on the same terms if we got the lifetime presidency.

[Euri]

I mean if the Federalists are really committed to strong federal government, this is as strong as it gets

Replace with "Separate Election for Vice President Amendment (includes primaries)"

That way we can have the President serve for life but a Vice Presidential election every four years.

I won’t block anything
