That is correct. So if that is an issue that interests you you'd have to play a politician who wants to change that. My first suggestion is a member of the Liberal Party.
@Jariri: Since the governor likely has an E-Car I suppose it'd be quick trip back to Wisconsin. Does she have other business in Saint Paul before heading back?

I don't think so - unless you have a suggestion - at the moment I think she's fulfilled her role within her capacity as Governor (advising the President how to conduct military operations within her home state). If there is something else to do in Saint Paul I'm up for it. If not then I suppose leaving for Wisconsin to prepare the National Guard is all that's left?

Ever pragmatic, and stubborn to a fault in regards to his ideals, he is a stark contrast and outsider compared to many of the CEEP born individuals.

Jackson? Like Andrew Jackson? I’m lost how that’s Republican but okay

I would say having a mutant Jaguar as a wife might be difficult on a legal standing but then I remember state laws regarding homosexual marriage and rationalized that if Nebraska allows it so be it. It makes some sense due to the proximity they are towards the Bonapartist (a bit like the current position held by a character in this RP regarding Android citizenship).

While Jackson may have founded the Democratic Party, this did not always mean Present Day Democrats aligned with Jackson's views. In fact, I surmise that due to Jackson's military background, distrust of complex financial institutions (see Banks), and fervent populism, Andrew Jackson would get along with Teddy Roosevelt more than say, Nancy Pelosi or Bernie Sanders.
While some may argue that his proposal for Mutants having rights/citizenship/good stuff is pretty pragmatic. It's to counteract the Ranks of the Fit (with Bearpoleon), and to allow other nation-states/tribes that sprung up during the Dark Years to be welcomed easier into the U.S.
I should also note that the Jaget/Mrs. Jones in question would be his second wife, his former having died.Harbertia wrote:I would say having a mutant Jaguar as a wife might be difficult on a legal standing but then I remember state laws regarding homosexual marriage and rationalized that if Nebraska allows it so be it.

I said my guy was controversial, and could be seen as abusing the power of state govt and laws to its fullest. Besides, as I've mentioned it would be his second wife and he already has kids from his late human wife. The Jagets apparently are loyal but are considered "bad luck"/have telepathy, which is pretty good when you're playing fast and loose with politics.

Note this man is a politician (the man in the image) though I do not know form where nor does he stand out in my mind. Any similarity between Senator North and this man are coincidental being unintentional. For those familiar with who is in this image I ask that you pardon it's use and think of it more like 'watching an older movie that has Reagan during his acting days'.

She could visit the locations mentioned in Saint Paul, the Como Center, Cypher, Museum of American Art, etc. I'd be willing to do something in those regards if you would like to take in the area before having her return. I know Como Center would have have some info ahead of time- at least I think so- for security but a gubernatorial visit would be a big deal to most public spaces.

The art museum or zoo would certainly be worth checking out in the GW setting but my concern there is potentially shifting the Governor's position in the capital from politically motivated to a casual tourist and how that might potentially detract from this GW instalment being a political RP.
One potential solution I can think of - negotiating for the return of some cultural icon for her home state?
