The Lion's Roar: An American Political Timeline

First of all, Jackson is not a lawyer, secondly of all Jackson receiving a Cabinet post even under Dellums is borderline ASB. In theory, a VP can also serve in the Cabinet (Byrnes/RFK as de facto, not de jure DPOTUS) but it has never been done because they don't have the time do both jobs at once. You can't run Treasury and preside over the Senate without the use of a Harry Potter Time Turner. ;)

Dellums will want a more moderate Cabinet due to his socialism.

Vice President: Lloyd Bentsen
Secretary of the Treasury: Hyman Minsky
Secretary of State: George McGovern
Secretary of Defense: Cyrus Vance
Attorney General: Nicholas Katzenbach (IOTL RFK's deputy, successor as AG, former Deputy SecState, Carter's OLC director)
HEW Secretary: Joseph Califano (LBJ's former HHS Sec)
Secretary of Commerce: Robert Strauss
Secretary of Agriculture: Herman Talmadge
Secretary of Labor: Ray Marshall

National Security Adviser: Harold Brown

Like I said, I wasn't serious about the Cabinet - would you mind if I used this for the TL?
 
Of course not, that's why I posted it. ;)

Thanks!:)

Btw, what do you think of the "Southern Revolt"? I thought it might make the Dellums presidency that much more interesting.;)

EDIT

Also, for anyone that read my pre-edited version of my last update, Mondale is not HHS Secretary - I have different plans for him...;)
