Brian McClanahanHOST
Now, because of who did write in it, Madison, Hamilton, and of course Jay, who would later serve as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, has taken on a much greater importance after the fact.
Brian McClanahanHOST
Hamilton being future Secretary of the Treasury, Madison, of course, who he became Secretary of State, President of the United States, member of the House of Representatives, again, John Jay, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Brian McClanahanHOST
So because of the status of these people after the fact, it has much more meaning than I think it should.

The succession battle now for this position will matter because the Smithsonian is neither an ordinary museum chain, nor a normal executive agency.
