Due to the absence of the PPT, I officially open the debate for President PBrunsel's appointment to the Treasury - King.

Again I ask the senators why they don't see if King is right for the job.  Ask him what his goals are, something.

I would, but given that the job is only for, like, two weeks or so, and given how low the bar was set by MasterJedi, I didn't see a need to.

So it's just a position so King can put SecTreasury in his name.

Not really.  The second point was a minor one; the first point was the main one.  If we spend a week or so debating over whether or not King would be a good Secretary of the Treasury, and then commenced with voting, his term would be up before he's even able to get started.  If we give King as much time as possible, he'll have a better chance to at least get something done.

When the new people get nominated for full four-month terms, then I'll ask questions, given that we'll have tons of time.

I thought you said that changing votes after the fact was illegal and in bad taste. (re: NAFTA repeal bill)

In theory, yes. I think this thing is settled so it's just a gesture (although bearing in mind the anti-democratic, anti-middle/working class and all round reactionary legislation King is trying to foist on us, I think a proper Senate hearing for every bloody Cabinet appointment should be complusory. That or have them elected).
