By this weekend, obviously I meant today. >.> Sorry!
"...and they are drafting a bill for it to become an actual state." The President sighed as he looked at the young man sitting in front of him, staring ahead with a tell-tale blank look. "So then I told them that if they passed a bill banning the sale of hamburgers, I wouldn't veto it."
Alfred jumped to attention, standing, slamming his hands down on the desk. The President cringed as he heard the heavy wood cracking from the strain. "What?! But that's not fair! What did hamburgers ever do to you? I thought you were just saying the other day that you appreciated their beefy goodness from time to time!" He was leaning forward with an intense look in his eyes, and the President could only sigh.
"Alfred. If you had been listening, you would know that was just something I made up. Of course I like hamburgers. Now, can you pay attention? This is a serious matter."
Alfred narrowed his eyes slightly, before sitting down and crossing his arms, muttering about falling for it every time.
"Now, as I was saying, there is a small faction in the House that is drafting a bill for the admission of the State of New Columbia. It's a little sad that our cars have license plates that read "Taxation without Representation," don't you think so? After all, what was a large factor of the Revolution?" Alfred was leaning forward in his seat now as he listened and he sighed.
"You want me to have another state." The President sighed and stood, walking around his desk to put a hand on Alfred's shoulder.
"You don't have to have another state. But, I think you know better than I do, that it certainly makes it easier to convince the stiffs in Congress to approve the bill when you do."
Alfred took off his glasses and rubbed his face with his other hand.
"It's not that. I'm not exactly seeing anyone right now. I know everyone thinks that I don't notice these things, but most other nations don't really like me all that much." The President nodded. It had been a rough few years, but he was working on repairing things. He only brought this up now because Alfred looked healthier than he had when he had first entered office.
"Alfred, the new state will be the home of the capital of the United States of America. It will arguably be the most powerful state in the free world. I know our nation's history pretty well. Don't you think it's about time you had a say in who the father of your states is? This is your chance."
As Alfred glanced up at him, he knew he had gotten him. Hook, line, and sinker.
He wasn't surprised when a week later, he received a letter from his nation, asking him to call a world meeting.
