Alan Colfax

Alan Colfax (J-AM) was the sixth Grand Alan of Alanland, inheriting office from Alan Lower Wacker.

The Colfax administration was elected into office on the understanding that it would continue the wildly popular policies of the Lower Wacker administration. The public was shocked, however, when three hours after Colfax assuming office, Warbler Flood resigned his position without warning. Thirty minutes later, emergency legislation outlawing elephant chairs was on Colfax's desk.

Its promise broken, the Colfax administration had to spend three years fighting very public battles about nearly every element of Alanland governance, many of which it could not win, including what was to be the centerpiece of Colfax's term in office, the Large Crossword Act. With the LCA's defeat, Colfax had no hope of re-election, and did not seek the Monican nomination for Grand Alan.

Colfax's lack of success as Grand Alan has led to his term being used in the popular phrase the next Colfax, unfavorably comparing someone or something to his administration. Despite this, Denver, Colorado named a street after him. He was succeeded by Alan Figueroa.
