A/N: Heeeeeeey, so instead of working on my ongoing stories, like a good writer, I wrote the third cabinet battle (cheeky grin). Now, I know that there is already a third cabinet battle, but I wanted to try a different version. This is, in my mind, taking place after the Reynolds Pamphlet, and the guys are trying to figure out what to do about Hamilton and his questionable activities;) This is mostly original work from me, except for the intro, characters, and a few other Hamilton song references:)

Washington
Ladies and gentlemen,
You could've been anywhere
In the World tonight,
But you're here with us in
New York City!
Are you ready for
A cabinet meeting?
The subject on the table:
Secretary Hamilton's refusal to shoulder
His regrets and accept the
Immediate removal from his position as
An officeholder.
Secretary Jefferson,
You have the floor, sir.
Jefferson
When he was sworn in for
A position that holds too much power
For such a loud-mouthed, arrogant son of a whore,
He made a promise,
he signed the Oath of Office.
But, now we can all agree
That this is his worst hour,
It's time for him to leave and go back
To his girlfriend and wife.
Why don't you just take your knapsack
And go back to your half-ass life?
Washington
Enough, Thomas.
Secretary Hamilton,
Your response.
Hamilton
Wow, okay.
You want to strike
At my love-life?
Thomas, you've got one of your slaves
doing more than just planting.
You want to take a look at my wife?
She's a Schuyler sister, she's upping my life.
Not like your serf, who's what, fourteen?
You're just ranting,
Tommy, take a hike.
Jefferson
You're a knave.
You think you can ignore what you've said?
You just ruined your life, your wife's,
And your kids'll never forgive
You for throwing your shot away,
All for what?
A little bit of foreplay?
Washington
Boys, that's enough!
This is getting us nowhere,
I'm calling it a day.
Jefferson
Fine.
Hamilton
Kiss-ass.
Washington
Son, that's enough.
Hamilton
I'm not your son.
A/N: Please read and review!
