Merge two dataset in Python with hierarchical conditions

I am very new to Python and I was trying to merge two tables using pandas with certain conditions

The first table may look like below

Table 1

ID	Name
1	Jane
2	John
3	Mark
4	Andy

The second table may look like below

Table 2

ID	status_code
1	1
1	2
2	1
3	2

The output table that I am trying to make will be the one in below

** Output Table **

ID	Name	status_code
1	Jane	1
2	John	1
3	Mark	2
4	Andy	3

So people like Jane who has both 1 and 2 for 'status_code' in second table, I want to use 1 instead of 2 for that column. And for people like Andy who does not have any code in second table, I want to put 3 instead of NA.

I would really appreciate help for this Thank you
