ebrk85 Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 That will do it for tonight as we now move onto 2.3, the appointments phase. @Rodja President Truman you are up! Please see 2.3.1 for the exhaustive rules set. All positions needing nominees may be found in the Executive tab (I've hidden the rest) and open military slots in the Military tab. Since this is our first time appointing cabinet members I will be acting like we are starting from scratch and will not be enforcing the incumbent limit since they haven't served us yet. 2.3.1 Presidential Appointments The President may appoint members of his cabinet, cabinet-level positions, ambassadors, Generals, Admirals, and other notable individuals during this phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwa777 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) @Rodja Mr. President, I congratulate you on your start of bipartinship. It does my heart good to see how you are willing to work with us. That being said there are two parts of the red faction that have no one named from them to your cabinet or your military. Could you try to name one at least from each faction? If you do that I promise you a smooth confirmation vote in the Senate as far as I, as Senate Minority Leader, can have happen.

ebrk85 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 14 hours ago, Rodja said: CIA Director Allen Dulles @Bushwa777 Allen Dulles (Cons) refuses to serve in a Liberal administration. @Rodja please select a new nominee A President (or other appointer) may choose cabinet members from the opposing party– however, they can only accept if they are the President’s ideology, moderate, marked as “can party switch”, marked as “can be independent”, have integrity, or they are the incumbent cabinet member being offered the opportunity to remain in their current position. The cross-party nominee cannot have Controversial. In all cases, the nominee can not be more than one ideology slot away from the opposite party President. All others accept their nominations. Per a previous rule change the President directly appoints all Ambassadors, Generals and Admirals. So you may submit those nominations as well.
