MrPotatoTed Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 @Rodja Heads up on this piece, now that Obama is pliable. If the President would normally make all appointments, but the President is Pliable or Passive and the President’s party’s Senate Leader has Iron Fist: If the President is pliable, there is a 50% chance the Iron-Fisted same-party Senate Leader makes a nomination. If the President is passive, 75%. If the President is both pliable and passive, 100%. Roll for each available office. Regardless of who makes the nomination, only five incumbent Cabinet, cabinet-level, and ambassador appointees can be retained. They must name nominees to fill all vacant positions, unless otherwise specified below. (Moving an incumbent to a new position does not count against the five incumbent limit, but they must pass Senate confirmation again). In other words, there's a 50/50 chance that @Rezi Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid may get to make an appointment (roll for each appointment). So action to @Rodja to roll the 50/50 chance for each position so Harry and I know which positions we're each responsible for. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Whoops, correcting myself here @Rodja. I missed that the Senate Majority Leader has to have iron-fist for this to apply. @Rezi Harry Reid does not have iron-fist, so these appointments are all for me to make after all.
