link to the poll
 
Alexander Hamilton always struck my mind for that post for some reason... presuming Burr doesn't shoot him in this TL.

Could also work for Seccy of War or Treasury(again). Putting him out there since we have a split Federalist/Democratic ticket. Johnny's gonna want some buddies in the cabinet.
 
My Suggestion from the last thread:

Since it's probably going to be a Jefferson is Prez in 1796 TL, I've decided to post my suggestion for the Jefferson's Cabinet.

Secretary of State: Aaron Burr

Secretary of Treasury: Albert Gallatin

Secretary of War: Henry Dearborn

Attorney General: James Madison

Secretary of the Navy: Robert Smith.

Now i know this list isn't very creative, but at least its a start.

John gets no say over the cabinet just as in OTL Tom had no say

Aaron Burr is more AG or war

Yeah, Hamilton would make a good war secretary. He fought in the ARW (well, he was an aide), so it'll look good at least. Nevermind the fact that the Sec. of War doesn't really strategize.
 
Yeah they hate each other, but President Jefferson's not going to want to completely alienate the President of the Senate, a man who can make his life very miserable, if he sets his mind to it.

Jefferson might toss Adam a bone or two.

Exactly ^^ Its all politics, power politics.

Adams didn't toss Jefferson any bones, and the "President of the Senate" has no power if there isn't a tie.
 
Oh, and Burr would fit in a Secretary of War nicely. Think we should pencil that one in.

Perhaps keep Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury(the bone tossed to Adams, though he's not going to give a rival party the State) and make James Madison Secretary of State.
 
maybe, but not Hamilton, never Hamilton, Hamilton is the De facto head of the Federalist he's the author of the Federalist papers, it'd be like Obama putting Rove in the cabinet, this would way way more then a bone, and not one that Adams would care about given he doesn't like Hamilton
 
Didn't think Hamilton and Adams split until the 1800 election. Anyways.. we'll move on then for now. :p
 
Jefferson and Hamilton HATE each other deeply!

Actually they are friends and have a deep respect for each other. It's only the politics they disagree with.

I actually see Jefferson appointing Hamilton as Sec. of Treasury in the spirit of anti-parties and perhaps as a compromise to put the capital completley in Virginia (as opposed to a new city in DC)
 
Don't think anyone's objected to Burr as Secretary of War.

I've also mentioned Madison as Secretary of State and I'll nominate John Breckinridge as Attorney General
