Except for Homely at the DoFE, we don't have a cabinet and the President haven't made a single nomination in weeks to fix it.

Oh yes, the GM spot is vacant as well.

Griffin's still in charge of the Census Bureau, so there are technically two cabinet officers.

Right, my bad. Still, it makes things only marginally better.

Gee, if only we had an executive leader who could appoint new cabinet members...

Seriously, though, does Bore even care anymore? Not appointing new cabinet members is simply farcical.

If he doesn't care then he should resign and let his successor do the job (seriously, there are two months of his remaining). If, since we can't rule that out, he's tied in his real life, he should post a leave of absence. Otherwise it's just being a dick, whether intentional ot not.

Completely agree. I'm kind of getting the impression that not only he doesn't care, but he actually doesn't want Atlasia to survive (maybe he thinks it's the best way to change the status quo?) and thinks that an absent President will fix things.

What's your opinion on Senator Polnut calling for Bore to either appoint new cabinet members or step down? I, for one, wholeheartedly agree.

So do I.

I actually wish I wouldn't have appointed most of the cabinet, tbh, when I was Pres. And even then it was really hard to find people. I was bent on having a cabinet, and I had Snowstalker and sirnick, and I appointed Hifly (who was rejected) for SEA, because they were the only people interested in the positions. Yeah, that was all a disaster. I can only imagine what it's like now.

See, if I were bore I wouldn't want to deal with this. And I got to the point where I really didn't. That's why I think President is the worst position in this game, and if you're someone who succeeded four years ago or whatever or under a different climate, I guess it's easy to sit there and be a backseat driver now.

Hey, if anybody thinks they can do better, especially these cookie-cutter blue/yellow avatar newbies, step up and swing the ol' bat, boys! Let's see some homeruns in this ballpark.

As I've just said in another thread:

I'm not expecting much given the general lack of applicatinos before, but if anyone who is interested in any cabinet position please contact me.

You really should be more assertive, that is actually offer someone, you think would do a good job, a cabinet position instead of just "I'm waiting for applications, but nothing is happening, oh well...". Such reasoning is a big problem in this game and should finally change.

For once take some bloody initiative, man. Especially in this situation.

Seriously, if I were President, I would try to find my own secretaries, instead of "I'm waiting for applications, take any candidate" crap. We need to stop with this.

We're not trying to drive Bore out. If anything, we're doing everything to give him both time and chance. Otherwise we would've started impeachment proceedings long, long ago.

Like Polnut said, I've supported him twice and we've worked together closely, and driving him out is the last thing I want. But he needs to take some initiative. The fact some people doesn't seem to realize what's wrong with the situation is indeed troubling.

I'd like to point out, that the postion of Secretary of Internat Affairs is vacant since early July. That almost two months.
