Within the week General DeChavilier had informed Kerensky that the SLDF stood ready to help him overthrow the High Council and assume the title of First Lord.  Kerensky's response was that he was too tired for treason and would remain loyal to the Star League until the very end.  After ten months of exhausting and furious debate though it soon became apparent that the High Council was at an impasse. On 12 August [[2781]] they released a curt statement detailing their inability to come to a decision and that the Star League would be dissolved.<ref name=TSL95/>

Many believed that Kerensky now had all the justification needed to seize power, but instead the General spent the next two years shuttling between the House Lords trying to reconcile their differences.  Kerensky's attempts fell on deaf ears, despite the House Lords' own citizens backing his effort, and instead they began increasing the size of their militaries.  This included recruiting former Republican soldiers, offering wealth and even titles and land for their services, and in August [[2783]] their efforts turned to the SLDF itself; when Kerensky objected to these cynical machinations they stripped him of his rank as [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]].  The defection of the [[91st Heavy Assault Regiment]] ''en masse'' to the [[Federated Suns]] a month later was the final straw for Kerensky.<ref name=TCWK6/><ref name=TSL95/>
