Confirmation Hearing: IBNU for Secretary of State (Confirmed)

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I am wondering what qualifications the nominee has. Foreign policy is no joke and as we saw in the last administration, it can go quite bad without a SoS who's active and knows what they're doing.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I'm also confused as to your "20 years of experience". Considering the average age of an active Atlasian citizen that would mean that you have had foreign policy experience since you were a child.

What do you say to allegations that you were bribed with this position to change your vote?

Who is alleging this?

IBNU himself admitted it.

My only communications with the nominee regarding a potential appointment (or anything else for that matter) occurred after the election.

Though I do not believe I can legally post the screenshots I’ve seen, they do state that it was Blairite, not you, who did it. I don’t believe you’re that type, Mr. President.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I've seen the log in question. If it turns out to be a forgery, which appears to be the case, then the person responsible forfeits all public trust if discovered and I will move to amend the criminal code to include forgery.

IBNU, please tell the Senate whether any person offered you this job before the election.

the person responsible (I'd assume he's the one responsible if he's the other person messaging) doesn't exactly have much public trust left anyway. It's part of what gives me some pause on these allegations, and why I felt it was best to directly ask Mr. IBNU about it, because that's the best way to get answers.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I will take the nominee's statement as the truth. I will remain oriented on the facts of the matter, then.



After my administration and the surprisingly strong victory we saw in the North Korean Civil War, the peninsula has been a vital point of interest as CCP China now borders a Republic.

What is your goal as far as Korea is concerned? What role will they have in the fight against CCP aggression?

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I believe most of us have made up our mind, and it's been almost a week since we started this hearing. I ask for a final vote.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

I still have worries over the nominee’s activity and qualifications.

Nay.
