The Bush Administration Comes To An End!!!!
Seeing Bush get on Executive One was the best thing ever! He’s gone. Yay!
Defense Secretary Will Skip Inauguration
The secretary of defense is sixth in line to succeed the president, under the Presidential Succession Act. That law was passed to create a framework for the elected government to continue if the president and other national leaders were killed by a nuclear bomb or other such attack.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, the lone member of the Bush Cabinet who will keep his job under President-elect Barack Obama, will go today to a military base outside Washington, as the “designated successor” to run the federal government in case of a catastrophe during the inauguration, officials said yesterday.
