President Washington dies. Andrew earns 3 victory points for the three popularity on his card. The 3 IP on the card are lost.

It is a tie between James Madison and James Monroe, both in Dan's faction. Of course Dan does not spend any IP to resolve this and James Madison becomes the new president, not receiving any popularity for being the accidental president.

Since the new president is not of the same party as the deceased president, there is now a new draft of offices, though no popularity is gained for these replacement appointments.

Congressional Votes and Division of Spoils:
Dan (16) claims Secretary of State for Aaron Burr.
Ben (11) claims Secretary of Treasury for John Marshall.
Charles (8) claims Envoy for Thomas Jefferson.
Andrew (16) claims Secretary of War for Benjamin Franklin.
El (9) takes General from William Henry Harrison for Andrew Jackson, a more capable military man.
