Aaron Burr, indicted for murder

It has been my opinion for some time that Aaron Burr would have been the worse president ever. He had no scruples, or principles, he changed parties to have a better chance of becoming president; he was probably the most power hungry man in America. He missed becoming president by the absolute slimmest of margins, losing on the 36th vote in the House of Representatives.

The Duel: One should not enter a duel* with such a man unless you are willing to shoot to kill. Hamilton believed that the duel itself satisfied ones honor and had no intention of firing at Burr. Burr had every intention of killing his rival. Hamilton was a fool for not recognizing Burr for what he was.

Burr was, IMHO, a murderer, altho no one can say with certainty that he knew Hamilton wasn't going to shot at him. He followed the rules of dueling and was free to take a deliberate shot at Hamilton. He never showed remorse the rest of his in life.

I would never ever ever write a parody on current politics. This represents only the history, really!
