Your Vote: the TL

Don't think anyone's objected to Burr as Secretary of War.

Ehh, Burr would be better as Secretary of State if you want a more expansionist U.S. I still think Dearborn is better for S. of War, but...

Still, does anyone oppose the Idea of Albert Gallatin for Secretary of Treasury?

It isn't what we want, it's what Jefferson would want in 1796... and Burr just doesn't strike me as a secretary of state(and in this time period heir to the president). He was a military man still in 96.

Oh and Gallatin would be a good fit.

Yeah, that does make sense. I just figured Burr might be a popular choice since he did fairly well in the 1800 Election.
 
So here's what we have so far... tenatively.

President: Thomas Jefferson

Vice President: John Adams

Secretary of State: James Madison? Aaron Burr?

Secretary of Treasury: Albert Gallatin?

Secretary of War: Aaron Burr? Henry Dearborn?

Attorney General: John Breckinridge?

Secretary of the Navy: Benjamin Stoddert? Robert Smith?(threw these two in for consideration. Stoddert was the 1st Secretary though the Washington administration and Adams OTL and Smith was Jefferson's OTL)

Figured maybe Stoddert could be the bone for the Federalists.

Stoddert should be fine, but I don't know Jefferson's opinions on the importance of the Navy, so...
 
Lowest cabinet posting in terms of prestige here. Dunno who else would be qualified at this point in time if we're going for ability alone since it's a military branch.

I like it. Wanna leave the thread open for another day or two to see if anyone objects or has any other ideas or shall we move on to what happens during the glorious term?

It might be best to wait a day or two just to develop a Greater Interest/Participation.
