What would have been the affects on the United States as we know it if the president succeeding Washington was, in general, either ineffectual or a simple idiot? TBH I don't know much about the intricacies of the Revolutionary War myself, but would Benedict Arnold or Charles Lee fit the bill? My aim of this thread is to try to see how tenuous the new government's hold was on the newly independent nation. If the majority of the country becomes disgusted with the bureaucracy and the President, would the government end up changing again or would the USA even fall apart?
