What does a #President do if the #WhiteHouse is uninhabitable?
Rent a new house! That's what #JamesMadison did on Sept. 8, 1814, moving into the #OctagonHouse after British troops burned the White House.
National Photo Company collection, Library of Congress, 1910-1926.

Aug. 12 1787 #JamesMadison saw no end in sight at the #ConstitutionalConvention.
He wrote to his father: “It is not possible yet to determine the period to which the Session will be spun out. It must be some weeks from this date at least, and possibly may be computed by months.”
Despite his misgivings, the delegates managed to complete the work just 5 weeks later.

#OTD 1787, #JamesMadison wrote his father from the #ConstitutionalConvention,
“I am sorry that I cannot gratify your wish to be informed of the proceedings of the Convention. An order of secresy leaves me at liberty merely to tell you that nothing definitive is yet done..."

#OTD 1787: during the #ConstitutionalConvention, #JamesMadison wrote #Jefferson:
“I have taken lengthy notes of every thing that has yet passed, and mean to go on with the drudgery, if no indisposition obliges me to discontinue it."
