APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 19th, 2021

Have you ever thought to yourself that 1) you wanted to make a difference in this country by doing the right things in Washington D.C. for the people, 2) you were more qualified for the position than the frightening people that our Presidents have put into these Cabinet seats in the past?

Well, I know that I want to be the President for the people, and feel that in order to serve the people you need to be a part of the people, unlike the politicians we have now, who place themselves above the rest of us.

When considering candidates to fill my Presidential Cabinet, I started to think about what qualities each seat should require to properly fit that position. Below, in order of Presidential succession, each position has been outlined with specific prerequisites and qualification one must have in order to be considered for that Cabinet position. Simultaneously, I am looking for a V.P. to act as my right hand man. Perhaps my most important selection, my running mate must share my same ideologies.

DHS represents a similar consolidation, both in style and substance. In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks against America on September 11th, 2001, President George W. Bush decided 22 previously disparate domestic agencies needed to be coordinated into one department to protect the nation against threats to the homeland. The new department's first priority is to protect the nation against further terrorist attacks. Component agencies will analyze threats and intelligence, guard our borders and airports, protect our critical infrastructure, and coordinate the response of our nation for future emergencies.
