I told them it's not necessary, you don't need to join the party. I've never even convened my party, not even once. I'm putting aside politics, so it won't disturb my administration. I'll organize the party maybe a year before the next elections. In this country, the president and his officials have always been held hostage by Congress.
Cabinet secretaries kneel to congressmen for their budgets.
In return, they ask for pork-barrel. I've changed that. Although I've had to give in to some of their requests for funds, I put in strict conditions. They're no longer allowed to use funds . I would say I have now the best cabinet, compared to cabinets before.
