Cabinet of the United States

The last presidential cabinet of the United States was the presidential cabinet of the Last President of the United States before the Great War of 2077.

Background
After his election, the final president assembled his cabinet to run the United States. It is unknown to what extent the cabinet was involved in the Enclave, as while the president and Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart were leading members of the Enclave not much is known about the rest of the cabinet.

In March of 2077 the president disappeared from the publics eye, going to Control Station ENCLAVE. While the president went into hiding, it appears that his cabinet remained in Washington, as a Cabinet Nuclear Alarm system was set up in case of a required evacuation from a nuclear war. However, the system was tampered with, and the Speaker of the House, Attorney General, as well as the Secretaries of Commerce and Defense were removed from the list. The unnamed Secretaries of the Interior and Treasury went to the Whitespring Bunker alongside Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart, while the president remained on the Enclave oil rig.

When the early warning systems activated on October 23rd, 2077, as Enclave and regular government officials alike scrambled for shelter from the coming nuclear war, only a select few members of the cabinet made it to safety, including the Secretaries of Agriculture, the Interior and Treasury. The rest were left to fend for themselves, having been removed from the Cabinet Nuclear Alarm system in questionable circumstances.

However, making it safely to a fallout shelter didn't guarantee survival, as the Secretary of Treasury soon found out. Having made it to the Whitespring bunker, Thomas Eckhart, wanting to solidify his grip on power within the Enclave and continue the Sino-American War, isolated the Secretary and then informed the rest of the Bunker's occupants of their death from "radiation poisoning". Eckhart then announced himself as the new leader of their "little enclave", as per pre-War rules of succession.
