Boy, am I shocked.
Do you still have that link you posted that said Jefferson refused to act without a Declaration of War, but Hamilton said that he didn't need one, and fought the Pirates without a Declaration of War from Congress?
Reading that, I assumed that Hamilton was President after Jefferson. Eveything else I know about the Barbary Pirates other than your link is from my Junior High reading.
