Alright, yeah this is pretty good. Also, for a moment there I thought your character model was Rob Lowe and you were trying to make a homage to Sam Seaborn, but I got that wrong

This app is ACCEPTED.

Yeah, we just want to get some of the senior staffers and cabinet level folk in before we start. The first posts/story arc is going to be setting up the policy outline for the First Hundred Days. So we can’t plan that with half a White House. We’ll probably have it up within a few days. Also, I just noticed your app is marked WIP, so if you still have some things you’d like to add to it feel free too. I guess I got a little greedy and accepted it prematurely

Chewie will you stop accepting democrats? Name me one Democratic cabinet official in the last forty years of republican presidencies, Chewie. As I said before, then only democrats will probably be junior staffers, like a person such as Ainsley Hayes (like we're about to get), a councilmember of the CEQ, a secret service agent, etc. Use common sense dude.

Eisenhower
- Martin Patrick Durkin, Secretary of Labor
- Robert Bernard Anderson, Secretary of the Treasury

Nixon
- John Connelly, Secretary of the Treasury

Ford
- Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Ambassador to the UN

Reagan
- Jeane Kirkpatrick, Ambassador to the UN
- William Bennett, Secretary of Education
- Lauro Cavazos, Secretary of Education

Bush II
- Norman Mineta, Secretary of Transportation

And that's just the people in the Cabinet proper, several Ambassadors and Under/Assistant Secretaries have crossed party lines.

• We will allow a few [moderate] Democratic secretaries, however the majority should remain Republican - as was so for all the bipartisan cabinets yall are using as examples. Junior staffers can be whatever.
• The POD will be Post-Reagan. Instead of Bush 41 we have Joseph O. Adams. Instead of Clinton, we have Jeffrey Blythe. Instead of Bush 43, we have Joseph O.V. Adams. Instead of Obama, we have Francisco Ortiz, first Hispanic-American President.
• The Democratic challenger for President in 2016 was Henrietta Chelston, the first African-American/female Democratic candidate for President. She is now leader of the Disappointed Americans Caucus, an anti-Carter, liberal movement seeking to bolster the Democratic seats in the Congress in the 2018 Midterms and secure a Democratic presidency in 2020.
• The Republican challenger was the Governor of Texas, Tomas Raulez, basically a more Hispanic Ted Cruz.
