Cabinet of the United States

The cabinet served the president of the United States before the Great War.

Background
In the spring of 2077, both the president and last cabinet disappeared from the public's eye. The White House Press Corps was unofficially disbanded and no news was released thereafter.

In October 2077, news outlets reported that a skeleton crew of manual laborers remained on staff to maintain the property, but no one had lived there or worked politically at the location for several months. Further investigations revealed that the cabinet had not been to the Raven Rock complex in over a year.

The Cabinet Nuclear Alarm system was set up in case of a required evacuation due to nuclear war, and when these warning systems activated on October 23, 2077, government officials sought shelter from the impending nuclear strikes. Members of the cabinet fled to the Whitespring bunker, with the alarm system recording the status of communication with each member.

Shortly after arrival, the Secretary of the Interior died in the med bay. Following their death, personnel at the bunker followed the protocols, instructing that the Secretary of the Treasury be brought up to speed. However, shortly thereafter Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart reported to the remainder of the bunker's inhabitants that the Secretary of the Treasury had also died of acute radiation sickness. Their death combined with the bunker's inability to make contact with either Raven Rock or the president, led to Eckhart assuming the leadership role according to the rules of succession.
