US Presidential Cabinet Game

Similar to blackangel's UK game. You must construct an American Cabinet (not Cabinet-level positions like NSA or chief of staff) using only former Presidents. Conditions: you cannot use Bush II or Obama.

Really RB? Putting McKinley in Labor? You might as well abolish the agency entirely.

Not the people I'd like most in these agencies, but I have to admit they'd be a large improvement on OTL. I'd actually prefer putting Obama in Housing, but I can't get it.

Some notes
- father of the Bill of Rights as AG? Awesome.
- I wish I could put Al Gore as Energy but eh, what ya gonna do?
- Cleveland founded the Interstate Commerce Commission, an important step
- with Adams as SecDef, we'd have a nice, strong, defensive military
- HH was great as SecCOM
- Some may question why I put Washington in SecAg - "Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere." as national policy. It'd save a lot of trees from lumber.

Great game idea.
