Maclay rejected Admiral Jellicoe’s arguments that convoys presented too large a target to U-Boats, and that merchant ship masters lacked the discipline to “keep station” in a convoy (from personal experience, he knew the latter to be false).
Upon the expiration of Sen. Maclay's term in 1791, the State House of Representatives would not be able to elect a new United States Senator due to a dispute regarding the rules and procedures of the election.
Maclay was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Fourteenth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Thomas Burnside.
