Satirizing American History!

[TommyC1776]

I'm starting with the John Adams administration.

On March 4, 1797 John A. Damn is inaugurated as the 2nd President of the United States.  Former President George Washington leaves for Mt. Vernon.

The Vice President of the United States at this time is Tom S. Jefferson

The issue of the day was the war in France.  Napoleon Bonehard was the leader of France's Revolution.  The political parties of the day were the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans.

The Federalist (which was President Damn's party) favored Britain while the D-R's favored France.

Vice President Jefferson differed with the President on the policy and that caused friction.  The following year President Damn put the Ailing and Sedation Acts into law.

WTF?

[TommyC1776]

The Ailing and Sedation Acts made it a crime to criticize the government.

During the Midterm elections the Federalists lost 4 seats in the Senate and 5 in the House.

Midterm Results:
Senate: Federalists 18, Democratic Republicans 14.
House: Federalists 55, Democratic-Republicans 51.

Over the next year the war in France is still going on.  President Damn and VP Jefferson are still bickering.

On December 14, 1799 former President George Washington dies.

In February 1800 the Library of Congress was created.

1800 was an election year and President John A. Damn and Vice President Tom S. Jefferson were rivals.

The Federalists ran the President and Charles Pickatree.  The D-R's nominate VP Jefferson and Aaron Good Shot.

This campaign dealt with the war in France.  It got nasty at times with the D-R's calling President Damn "a traitor."  President Damn's supporters called the Dem-Reps "the worst people in America at this time."  bc of their opposition to some of legislation passed during the Damn administration.

Tommy, a little word of advice, changing ones name to sometime comical, for example, Damn instead of Adams is not satire. Satire, according to Webster's Dictionary can be either one of the following:

1. a) A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.
    b) The branch of literature constituting such works.

2. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.

I will censor what I think needs to be censored and if anything else does, let me know.

In the election of 1800 Vice President Tom S. Jefferson ties in the Electoral University with Aaron Good Shot.  Then this goes to the House to break the tie.  Vice President Jefferson wins in the House vote.

In one of his first acts Jefferson asks Congress to pass the Judiciary Act.   This abolished the number of courts created by the Damn administration.  It passes swiftly and smothly.

President Jefferson states "America, we must expand.  Not by eating though.  Not even by having a bulge in your pants.  What I'm saying is we must make our country bigger and strengthen it too."  in regarding the Louisiana Territory area.
