Arkansas Progressive Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 Committee votes (Before Shenanigans): All Military Nominees (yes I did a group) pass 20-0 James Baker passes 23-0 Samuel Pierce passes 22-3 Richard Kleindienst fails 12-13 3 of 0ccult's senators vote against Kleindienst (have integrity). No harmonious senators were in committees that would have changed the outcome. No disharmonious senators fire Puritans vote against nominees (none match their ideology) Everyman votes against egghead nominee. Predictable not included Passive not included All Military Nominees (yes I did a group) pass 20-0 James Baker passes 22-1 Samuel Pierce passes 22-3 Richard Kleindienst fails 8-17 @LainKino to name five alternative options for Attorney General. Quote The nominator will choose one of these five, who will be automatically confirmed. These nominees must meet all requirements of the position, including limitations on the number of opposing party members can be in a cabinet. They cannot recommend the failed nominee or any existing members of the administration at the current or higher rank. In other words, they cannot recommend the sitting Secretary of State for Secretary of Agriculture, but they can recommend the sitting Secretary of Agriculture for Secretary of State (if the Sec of Agriculture meets the requirements of the state position). Rn I'm running with a 20% to gain integrity if a senator votes down a controversial nominee. Those senators are: Joseph Montoya Alan Bible Thomas Eagleton John C Stennis Adlai Stevenson III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I nominated Kleindienst for FBI Director. To make things quicker, I’ll also just note here that the requirements for the five alternatives are- -At least 3 Admin -Justice expertise -Must be Red Party (three Blue pols have already been nominated and confirmed to other positions) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
