You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
At the moment population is higher than morale. I vote for staying president, myself.

what happens to my quorum cards if Tigh takes the presidency?
That is a good question. The rule book doesn't seem to have explicit directions. It says:
Whichever player has the President title has control overthis hand of Quorum Cards. These cards are kept secret, and there is no limit to the number of cards that may be in the President’s hand.
The "kept secret" part says to me that they would *NOT* pass. But the fact that it says "has control over *this* hand..." says they DO pass with the title.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Quorum cards are always held by the President. If the Presidency changes hands, the quorum cards go to the new President.

Anyone else want to weigh in on the decision besides Zarek and me?

This game just wants to take all my cards from me. ALL my cards. *grumble* Never enough booz- cards for Salty. It's not fair. *sniff*
Okay, done whining now.
Aaaaaaanyway. IIRC Zarek wasted a Y5 on an IC when it would have passed us a check awhile ago, which has made me suspicious (what a clever way of avoiding helping on a skill check). On the other hand--damn, the Cylons are playing it close, because no one's done anything SUPER suspicious yet. I've got a few ideas but nothing damning. Zarek's also been helpful, and I don't know if taking the presidency away from him would be the wisest thing to do, especially if he is still human.
There's also the issue of population versus morale, and as noted, losing morale at this stage would be worse.
Also, as BT noted, I can always choose to take the Presidency later, because I am Tigh. So even if I don't take the Presidency now and Zarek does something suspicious, I can declare martial law on my next turn. Now, I can only do that once per game, but that ability is there.
So I am inclined right now to take the hit and lose the population instead of the morale and piss off Zarek. (What IS the fluff reason for the population loss here? The admiral gets mad and starts a bar fight?)
BUT I would also like to see what others say as well.

Huh. I didn't realize drunks could have intellectual stupors as well.
