Ok so I believe it’s just the PM General list that needs to be redone, right?

1. Sherman Adams

2. Nelson Rockefeller 

3. Thomas Dewey

4. Joseph W Martin Jr (though he’s supposed to retire at the end of the term, so I don’t think he’s eligible?)

5. There’s no other red kingmakers with any admin who are eligible to serve

Ok so the PM list is good. Yes Martin is prob out so @Bushwa777 you can select one of the top 3 choices.

For the ambassador lists Summerfield can't be on it because that's a demotion. And for Agriculture you need to replace Klutznick and Mitchell who already are holding a lower cabinet position.

So am I still waiting before finishing all choices?

It is interesting that the rules of the game really encourages the weaponanization of the cabinet in a way it isn't done irl. Mostly it's when you have an uncharismatic or unlikable President and a strong Majority Leader.  Then again, doing it when you have a +3 party preference in the bank just to mess with the meters or gain integrity is next level.

Margret Chase Smith Translates that to: Your marginal gains have wasted a ton of busy people a decent amount of time. Waste not, want not but we don't fault you for trying to get a few gains while in the minority.
