SATT 025.1 - John Armstrong Jr Part One

Tenure of Office: February 5, 1813 - September 27, 1814

Revolutionary War veteran, member of the Confederation Congress, US Senator, US Minister to France - certainly sounds like an illustrious career leading up to service in the President's Cabinet, but as I explore with my special guests, Eric and Matt of the Ranking '76 Podcast, there's more to this career than meets the eye. If you're into political intrigue, diplomatic drama, and a possibly proposed coup d'état, then this is the episode for you.
