Cabinet of the United States

The last Cabinet of the United States was the 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 assist in the running of the country. In the spring of 2077 the president and Cabinet disappeared from the public's eye.Boston Bugle building terminal entries; Boston Bugle article terminal, Article 4 The White House Press Corps was unofficially disbanded and no news from the West Wing was released thereafter. In October 2077, news outlets reported that a skeleton crew of manual laborers remained on staff to maintain the property, but no one had lived there or worked politically at the location for several months.
Although the same outlets surmised the entirety of the United States government had moved operations to the Raven Rock military operations center, further investigations revealed that neither the president nor his Cabinet had been to the Raven Rock complex in over a year. The Boston Bugle revealed that the president had subsequently moved his operations to Control Station Enclave, meanwhile the Cabinet Nuclear Alarm system was set up in case of a required evacuation due to nuclear war.
When these warning systems activated on October 23, 2077, government officials sought shelter from the impending nuclear strikes. Members of the Cabinet fled to the Whitespring bunker, with the Cabinet Nuclear Alarm system recording the status of communication with each member.The Whitespring bunker terminal entries; archival terminal, Cabinet Nuclear Alarm Logs Shortly after arrival, the Secretary of the Interior died in the med bay.Whitespring surveillance recordings; brig terminal, 1.1.2 Following their death, personnel at the bunker followed the protocols, instructing that the Secretary of the Treasury be brought up to speed. However, shortly thereafter Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart reported to the remainder of the bunker's inhabitants that the Secretary of the Treasury had also died of acute radiation sickness.Whitespring surveillance recordings; information terminal, 1.1.7 Their death combined with the bunker's inability to make contact with either Raven Rock or the president, led to Eckhart assuming the leadership role according to the rules of succession.Whitespring surveillance recordings; military work station, 1.1.5 He henceforth required references on his person to be "president" as opposed to "secretary."Whitespring surveillance recordings; military wing system terminal, 6.2.1
