President Marshall's second term:
Issue 1: War of 1812
The president doesn't like any of his options, but decides negotiation is the best of the bad alternatives. Unfortunately between Special Envoy Gerry's ability and the lack of influence between them, they still are unable to solve it. So the final decision is to ignore the issue.
Reserves -40 (-54). Public support 2 to C (0). 1 IP to Aaron Burr (the new Liberal party leader). President loses a popularity.

Issue 2: Defunding the Bank of the USA
The president would like to resolve, but the Treasury Secretary is controlled by Charles who does not agree. This fails.
Burr gains 1 IP.

Issue 3: State Admission Arkansas (AR - 3 votes)
The president wants to admit this new state.
Arkansas is added to the map, floating unattached, at least for now. President gains 1 popularity.

Issue 4: Land Act of 1820
The president decides to solve this popular measure. This time, Secretary Jefferson agrees.
Public Support 2 to L (2L). 1 IP to Marshall. Revenue +1 (26). Popularity 3 for the president and secretary.

THE TREASURY
Charles on behalf of Secretary Jefferson adds the revenue amount, 26, to reserves, which are now at -28. Since reserves are higher than -100, there is no Economic Crisis Check.
