Two men sat at a table in a cafe in France, sipping coffee and playing chess. After a while, they noticed something happening across the street. A company was standing, waiting, while the commander argued with another man who worked in the government. The commander was shouting about the war and saying he needed to go to Switzerland, but this was denied him.
One of the men in the cafe commented on the oddity of an American army led by a Frenchman. "I happen to know the commander. I'll go talk to him and see what's wrong." He stood up and walked over. The other man heard some shouting, and made his move on the board.
The first man returned. "Lookes like the war against Switzerland is finished. Those soldiers were sent by the Americans to fight there. From what I hear from the fellow in the green coat," he meant the official, "There's been a monetary exchange. Stupid beaureucrats." He looked at the chess board. "YOU IDIOT!!!! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE THE KNIGHT LIKE THAT!!!!!"
1787
In Philadelphia, a large amount of activity was beginning. Luminaries from all over the country were converging, Von Steuben, Jay, from New York, Washington, Jefferson, from Virginia, the various Adamses from Massachussetts, Light Horse Lee from his horse, Franklin from next door, and two little green men. The green men were quite pleased with how things were going. Long speeches were made, arguments made enemies, slowly, the comittee worked out a new Constitution. Finally, after a summer of hard work, it was finished. However, the states had to vote. Millgrarths equipment had, unfortunately, been destroyed in a large explosion over present-day Nevada, so he couldn't affect the voters as easily as he had at the beginning, but he did try. In the present day, the Federalist is considered to have swayed the voters in New York towards the Constitution, and it did help, but the was liberal box-stuffing conducted by our heroes. For a year, people argued, and finally ratified the document.
Then, in 1788, elections were called for the presidency. Washington ran unnopossed, and won. His relatively uneventful time in office saw Millgfarths and Fendrgrarn sit in their cave, bored and drunk.
