All right, so I'm back.
First order of business:
Polls are now 100% officially closed.
With a 9-5 ratio, the once and future President of the Republic will be John F. Cameron.
The Gold and Silver Act passes with 16 in favor, 2 against and 0 abstaining.
The Cuban Liberty Act passes with 14 in favor, 4 against and 0 abstaining.
The Compromise of 1856 passes with 10 in favor, 8 against and 0 abstaining.
I should have the update for you guys on Monday.
PS. The ACAs are up for another round! Go vote there!
(If you feel the urge to vote for The Presidents, we're a historybook AAR).

Bah, seriously considering leaving the National Reoublican Party now when it has become a Cameronite hellhole.
((I'm actually pretty sure the National Republicans are pro-Hensdale, whereas the State Republicans are pro-Cameron. Or something like that.))
As previously stated, the party system sort of imploded, and I think the 1860 election will still have them rather confused, but the 1864 primary should have clear parties again.
PS. Was someone assigned to be Speaker of the House? If so, who?
((I like to think that the previously mentioned coalitions were created, if only unofficially. Although I suppose that's just me.))
((Huzzah, we're back.
If you're asking in interest of the line of succession, the President pro-tempore of the Senate would be next in line (the Cabinet posts got pushed up to the top 1886ish, but later they moved it back so that the Congressional posts were the top of the line, but switched the order of Senate and House there). We have more Senators to pick from there (Carr? He's been a somewhat prominent Northern liberal Senator recently, so he could probably get the spot.)
I think we have a clean slate for parties now. The Republicans of different stripes got divided mostly just due to the Brass-Cameron split, and the Democrats are gone (and the Civil War will probably doom the party as we know it) - we could continue the naming system as it is now, just let the parties gather actual ideological differences, but that would just make things more confusing.))
Heh, after last election being the Election of Abstaining, this one doesn't seem to have much in that regard.
Well, the Speaker would probably be a major Whig - probably a State's Republican - and we have few House-of-Representatives to chose from (Vallejo was there, but he was Sec. of Citizenship during Brass' time - I think we had another Representative, but I think he was a Democrat).

I'm pretty sure some people were pro-Hensdale and some were pro-Cameron. Beyond that, nobody has a clue. :rofl:

((Carr resigned from the vice presidency and politics in general shortly before the primaries, so he wouldn't be an option.))
Hmm.
Well, let's see who we've got. Being Northern, Liberal, and Whig (not a Democrat voting for either of the Republican parties) would be beneficial to getting to such a role, and voting Cameron would put them in the party more likely to have taken a majority in the Senate and House.
-Brass, then? That would assume the Democratic-Republican party got a majority in the Senate, despite losing the Presidency.
-Vallejo, if no longer Sec. of Citizenship, could have gone back to either the House or Senate (now that he's old enough for that), and would be on the right party, although he's a Westerner.
-Hensdale, Khur, etc. are too non-Whig to stand much of a chance of getting that spot in the national and inter-party political landscape.
-We might still have John Rus who voted for Cameron last election and is a Northern Whig.
-Cartright (or whoever he is now) and Walsh, perhaps, although they were Democrat before.
-Senator Williams and Senator Faust are Northern, Whig, and voted for Cameron.

Senator James Davis
Senator Davis was born in a rural Tennessee town in 1808. His family migrated to Alabama in the 1830s, where Davis currently serves as an Alabama senator. He has wartime experience, He was a colonel in the Mexican-American War, and is an officer and fervent member of the Southern National Militia. Davis supports State's Rights and has a more radical view on the South, but believes that Union should be preserved. Davis was a lifelong member of the Democratic Party, but due to the recent election he could not support either party and simply did not vote. He is still a registered Democrat.
