Former Vice President Al Gore for energy, I think his climate activism, should make him count as a major individual, if he doesn't work, then my backup is former West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller for HHS.

Gore, under the new guidelines, is certainly a credible public figure in the 2010s. My only worry is that Gassman had drafted him and I vetoed it when the earlier rules were in place. I’ll pencil Gore in for you, but if Gassman wants to claim him to replace an earlier pick, we’ll go with your second choice. Sound fair?

sure that works

Let's begin Round 5 of the Fantasy Cabinet Draft.

Remember that for all picks, the following rules apply:
1. You cannot pick any individual who has already been drafted.
2. The intent is to make a cabinet for some time during the 2010s. As per our new rules put in place to avoid nitpicking, you can pick anyone who was a substantive public figure in the 2010s. Even if your pick passed away during or after the 2010s (such as John McCain or John Lewis or Kay Hagan), it's still legal.
3. You cannot draft someone to a position that they held in real life. For example, you cannot pick Rex Tillerson to be your Secretary of State, but you can pick him to be your Secretary of Energy.

As I stated earlier, if you want to "redo" one of your first two picks in light of these new rules, you may do so. Also, if you missed a pick from an earlier round, you can make it at any time after. I've noted which picks you are missing on the google sheet below.

If you would like to join in the game, I'd be happy to welcome you. PM me for instructions.

For the fifth round:

NY Express, RGM2609, Ishan, and Senator OBD will pick from the Northeast.
The Fonz, KaiserDave, Gassman, and OldSchoolRepublican will pick from the South.
BattistaMinola, Clinton/Kaine Voter, and Our Enemy the Irish will pick from the Midwest.
UtahNeoLib, Beesley, and myself will pick from the West.

A. The Northeast (ME, NH, VT, CT, MA, RI, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, VA, DC)
B. The South (NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, LA, AR, TN, KY, WV, TX, OK) + Territories
C. The Midwest (OH, IN, IL, MI, WI, MN, IA, MO, ND, SD, KS, NE)
D. The West (CA, OR, WA, AK, HI, NV, AZ, NM, ID, MT, CO, WY, UT).


Remember that you will need to pick a...

1. Secretary of State
2. Secretary of the Treasury
3. Secretary of Defense
4. Attorney General
5. Secretary of the Interior
6. Secretary of Agriculture
7. Secretary of Commerce
8. Secretary of Labor
9. Secretary of Health and Human Services
10. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
11. Secretary of Transportation
12. Secretary of Energy
13. Secretary of Education
14. Secretary of Veterans' Affairs
15. Secretary of Homeland Security

To help you keep track of who is off the board, I've started a google sheet at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lKijLTH6JqoAZlPlzOJ1dn0DP-vM7PswwmdgpE57jCU/edit?usp=sharing.

We shall end this round  at 8 pm EST on Thursday. Let me know if you prefer not to be tagged when a new round starts.


I’m down. Would appreciate reminder pms though.
President Dennis Kucinich then for a different flavor of crank.

I don't believe I've heard of this guy before. It's a perfectly valid pick, but I'm curious-- why him?
