1,000@HillaryClinton Lori seems to have a pending cloture vote result
but i've resolved the other ones Yes
@diadematus @Calvin6b82 Has not responded to some pinging. Which answers should resolve? Show some evidence.
@diadematus I resolved a few to Yes that showed evidence from your page. I can't see how I could resolve any of the No ones at this point. If you want more you will need to be more specific. It's clearly not "All of them".
@MonaSalama Isn't this guy just up for chairman of the Counsel of Economic Advisors? That's not a cabinet position
@Marnix CEA is indeed 1 of the 10 cabinet level officials while the other 15 are dept heads
During Trump first term he announced that his cabinet won’t include a CEA chair & he didn’t name Kevin Hassett until April of 2017
Trump named Miran before Xmas. He didn’t say he would include/exclude in his cabinet for his 2nd administration
Also It was also include in the list in the description for this market trade
@MonaSalama It was during Obama and Bidens' terms, but I think we've got a weird case here — I believe Trump de-elevated it to a non-cabinet position. I'd personally be fine with it still resolving YES, though
Some of these are mispriced. For example, Kalshi gives Lutnick a 97% chance (https://kalshi.com/markets/kxseccom/next-secretary-of-commerce). I don't have enough mana to fix all of the mispricings.
@polymathematic see, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_cabinet_of_Donald_Trump. No FBI director, no Kash Patel.
@polymathematic also the Wiki page Cabinet of the US does not list the FBI director, however some positions have been intermittently elevated to Cabinet-rank, this is what YES holders are betting on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_the_United_States#Positions_intermittently_elevated_to_Cabinet-rank
According to "Establishing And Implementing The President's "Department Of Government Efficiency" – The White House",
DOGE is just the United States Digital Service, renamed, with a few people added.
Doesn't seem like a cabinet level position, to me
