(992 posts)We could have had Burr for president. Hamilton just hated Burr more than he hated Jefferson, so he delivered Federalist votes in the House to Jefferson.
But, he wasn't a real American. He was born in the British West Indies (Neves).

(46,192 posts)on our heavily used paper currency or heavily used coins.
the only error here is the idea that we should be choosing just one.
there should be room for more than one woman to be on our currency.
we should also have a large, I mean significantly larger dollar and two dollar coins like they have in Canada or Europe, not those little ones they tried to do several years ago.
put one of the guys on those, put a woman on the paper that they will vacate to be on the coin instead.
