I take it this turn of events includes being reborn in the US? :p

What positions are there in the Cabinet?

edit: That's my first thread steal. Cool.

by a strange and suspicious turn of events you have been elected President of the United States, you now have to pick your vice and cabinet from NS posters.

have fun!


Secretary of State
Secretary of the Treasury
Secretary of Defense
Attorney General
Secretary of the Interior
Secretary of Agriculture
Secretary of Commerce
Secretary of Labor
Secretary of Health and Human Services
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Secretary of Transportation
Secretary of Energy
Secretary of Education
Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Secretary of Homeland Security


EDIT: also you don't have to fill all of it, just the ones you wanna.

Do we need reasons or can we just whack the names into the list?

If I were President of the US I'd abuse my position to make as much money as possible. Cabinet positions would go to the highest bidders.

'Course, if I were rich enough to get elected US president I wouldn't have to abuse the position for money, but not doing so would rather seem to be against the spirit of the game, so who'm I to argue?

What positions are there in the Cabinet?

edit: That's my first thread steal. Cool.

yes, and also, you being elected without a vice already

and stuff.

it's a game, enjoy it, quit asking questions(wow, don't I feel presidenty!)

thanks for the steal, I am happy it was you.......and also that I added a poll.

If elected, I pledge the following:

- withdrawal of troops from Iraq

- national legalization of same-sex marriage

- selling of titles of nobility to the highest bidder

Do we need reasons or can we just whack the names into the list?

either way.......reasons might be nice though, for entertainment value

Vice President: Ifreann. That would be funny.
Secretary of the State: Neesika. Again, seems like a good idea.
Secretary of Defense: Lunatic Goofballs. I wanna see what happens.
Secretary of the Treasury: Ruffy. Similar reason as LG.
Attorney General: Bottle. Seems like a good idea.
Secretary of the Interior: Arrkendommer.
Secretary of Agriculture: Someone who hates farming.
Secretary of Commerce: Wilgrove. Just to see what happens.
Secretary of Education: Katganistan, because she's the only teacher I know of on here.
Secretary of Homeland Security: DCD. Even though he's gone.
Press Secretary: Fassigen
Secretary of Setting Fire to Flags on the White House Lawn: FreedomandGlory.

Also, if one of them kicks off, I wanna move Bottle to the supreme court. Although she'd probably never get confirmed in a million years...

HAHAHAHHA! ABORTIONS AND GAY MARRIAGE FOR EVERYONE!

If I'm President, I see no need for a vice president or cabinet.

I'll take sloth as my vice.:p

Don't really think I know enough about peoples viewpoints to fill in too much here but i'll complete what (very) little I can :


Secretary of the Treasury (LG)
Secretary of Defense (DCD)
Attorney General (Bottle)
Secretary of Agriculture (Neesika - Blame the gardening thread)
Secretary of Commerce (Smunkee - Seem to remember your job is in finance. Correct me if i'm wrong)
Secretary of Health and Human Services (Fass)

I'll take sloth as my vice.:p

Okay, but I get lust. If that doesn't pan out, I'll dump it and run for reelection with wrath as my partner. Wrath seems to be almost as big with people as lust.

I mean, I could run with Gluttony, but that's practically cheating.

I'll take sloth as my vice.:p
Sorry, but Sloth already has a role as the Fuhrer's personal secretary.

Ooo! I want Fass to be my press secretary!

"Sir, how does the white house feel about the resolution before congress to ban gay marriage?"
"Well, we think that *Insert some cold, detached, unbelievably inflammatory comment here*"

Hands off :p He's all mine

Although I do love that thought. Maybe I should just combine the roles

Secretary of Health and Human Services (Fass)

Ooo! I want Fass to be my press secretary!

"Sir, how does the white house feel about the resolution before congress to ban gay marriage?"
"Well, we think that *Insert some cold, detached, unbelievably inflammatory comment here*"

Gluttony would be my president vice... oh wait...


VP: Smunkee cause it was her idea to make me president in the first place.
Secretary of State: Ilie; she's sexy.
Secretary of the Treasury: the first person who asks for the job gets it!
Secretary of Defense: Remote Observer, he's a gun nut and big on personal defense
Attorney General: Lunatic Goofballs, the justic system is already a joke anyway.
Secretary of Education: Katganastan.. only teacher here.
Secretary of Veterans Affairs: UMC Leathernecks, he's a future vet.
Secretary of Homeland Security: I'd let R O have that one too for pretty much the same reason as defense.

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Sin (I can't remember your new name)


Neesika? (we talking about Sinuhue of the past?)

If I was elected, I would immediatly turn the presidency over to Cthulhu. Cthulhu would not have any Secretaries, and would only show favor to those who helped him get in power by killing us before eating us.

how are the kids doing?

is your garden okay?

can't you just give me some spot worthy of my stature?

how are the kids doing? They had a blast today...we went out to a cultural centre and they got to cook bannock on a stick over a campfire, and drank bush tea, and did some beading. Then they sat in a sandbox with other native kids and dumped sand all over each other for hours.

is your garden okay? I don't know if my tomatoes will recover, and some of the corn is kaput, as well as some of the beans...but it's remarkably unscathed considering. There are three small dents in my van that I can live with. The shingles on my deck WERE from the shed and not from the house, so all is well.

EDIT: also you don't have to fill all of it, just the ones you wanna.

All of those positions would be abolished. They would be replaced with one sprawling organization called The Office of the State. It would be headed up by a council of my eight closest advisers, but I would maintain supreme power over all decisions.

Publicly, the Council would be seen as being democratic and having autonomy with my suggestions and input, allowing me to delegate blame and responsibility to them when something goes wrong, but taking all the credit for myself when something goes right.

The council members would be compensated by having wealth and contentment in a nation where both are in short supply; they would be above the law and above finance itself, able to steal and murder with impunity, so long as they don't affect targets placed on my master list who would be shielded from harm at all costs (my family, friends, and organizations or people who perpetuate a cause I'm attached to).

The tenets of the nation would be the preservation of the environment, the bolstering of our armed forces, and equality among all members of society save for myself and the Council; personal freedom would be tantamount except when it interfered with the operation of the Office of the State.

Provisions would be made to keep people happy, but if an area descended into civil unrest martial law would be declared.

Over the years, I'd work towards undoing the industrial devestation wrought upon North America, restoring endangered species, replanting forestland, and doing research into alternative, clean fuels, the results of which would be spread freely among all nations. This would be more difficult at first when I would need dirty industry and oil money, as well as whatever I funds I could procure from other sources, to finance all these changes, but gradually I would scale it back.

My final act would be to covertly introduce an airborne or waterborne virus that rendered men utterly sterile, boys with no chance of developing fertility, and women barren of child-bearing capabilities. I would blame this on irreversible effects of the industry which we'd abolished too late and formulate some bogus scientific reports to corroborate it. If possible, I'd spread the virus globally and blame it on airborne pollutants; if not, I'd use what happened to push other nations towards environmental responsibility.

Somewhere in there, throw in an advanced and comprehensive anti-asteroid program, to prevent a space rock from undoing all my hard work.

And a really fucking big state of me that's made of an incredibly hard material and rooted so deep in a mountain that pulling it down would require more than a rope and three guys in a jeep.

And that's my legacy.

Nice try with the environment bit Dubya but you're not fooling anyone :)

Noble is subjective *stops drinking Mirkai bottled water*

Unless I find topics of common interest outside politics, I generally don't get along with those who don't share my views.

Noble is subjective *stops drinking Mirkai bottled water*

But I held absolute power, you would all be forced to consider me noble.. therefore it would no longer be subjective!

And how dare you refuse the fine product of the Sparkling Spermless water company.

I hate people, and would run for office in order to have a better chance at eliminating all of them. :)

Sorry for the resurrect, but I have to say I'm impressed by how varied the ideologies of many of these cabinets are. If only actual presidents would have cabinets that are so varied.

I think we'd end up eviscerating each other. :D

if i thought i had a thick enough skin i'd be doing so now instead of playing arround here. but generally speaking i know i don't. or don't feel that i do. however you want to say it.

my main areas of polilcy interest are alternative energy and trasportation. which i feel to be far more key issues then most people realize. key to environment, mental and physical health and well being, even to civil liberties and personal freedom.

and i am certainly interested in persuing every available, even immaginable, alternative to any sort of armed conflict ever.

there really is no other excuse for any government to exist in any form then the well being of all people. those within its borders, but those beyond them as well. which doesn't mean though, poking our noses into how a majority of people in other places may prefer to run their's.

environment is everything and the foundation of everything.

i believe this puts me squarely in the 'green' camp. and if i were to run it would most likely be as a green.

on the practical side, i have no idea where campaign support would come from, other them populist movements and alternative tecnology. another reason i have not serriously approached the proposition of actually doing so.

i do wish i could vote more directly on more of the issues that come up for legislation then we currently get to on election day, and having a staff to help winnow the smoke and mirrors would be fantastic.
