The President's Cabinet by Sara Turner https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69 Create a column for each of the 15 Cabinet departments. Under each column, include the following: description of the function of the department, a book/television/movie character that would be an effective leader for that department, an image/gif of the character, and SPECIFIC evidence/justification for why that character would be a good choice to lead that department. en-us 2022-03-15 14:16:20 UTC 2025-10-04 13:25:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f1fa-1f1f8.png Robin Hood escrouch2_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096074579 The Department of Treasury manages federal finances, collects taxes, pays bills, and manages currency of the United States.

Robin Hood would be the best person for the Department of Treasury because he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. He may not be the most morally good character, due to his robbery, but he is good at giving back and looking out for the community. #gifteconomybutifyoustolethegifts]]> 2022-03-15 14:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096074579 Rambo willccar1_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096075447
The Department of Defense provides the military forces needed to deter war, and to protect the security of the United States.

Rambo would be the best person for the department of defense because he knows how to protect himself and he has served in the military. A military man knows how to protect a nation, so why not choose the best (and sexiest) military man known to mankind. As a Vietnam veteran, he knows the harshest of realities. He know how to get his job done. He will protect the United States of America.]]> 2022-03-15 14:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096075447 Deadpool lcmartin9_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096075995 The department of labor was made to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers, and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights.

Deadpool would be the best secretary of labor because he knows how to improve the working conditions of all work cites. He knows this very well because he has been stabbed and killed multiple times, so he would know what to look out for and what can kill people in a work site. He would protect all workers in the USA by improving all work conditions. He will drastically lower worker fatality rates all across America.]]> 2022-03-15 14:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096075995 The Doctor lcmartin9_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096076454 The Doctor, despite previous issues with mercy-killing his entire planet (it's okay though because he undid it in one of the special episodes a lot later), cares very much about the health and safety of humans. He has saved the planet at least thirty times, proving his dedication to the cause.

The Doctor is (usually) an excellent negotiator, all-around fan of peace, and would be beneficial to the country's overall health.]]> 2022-03-15 14:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096076454 Shrek escrouch2_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096076542 The department of housing and urban development administers programs that provide housing and urban development equally and fairly across the United States.

Shrek would be the best Secretary of Housing and Urban Development because he knows how onions work. Onions have many layers, just like the American infrastructure. Currently the American Onion has a few thin layers. Shrek will grow the metaphorical American Onion and fix this problem. He knows where to build houses and how to allocate funds for his programs.

Also he would make for a great secretary in general.]]> 2022-03-15 14:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096076542 Spencer Reid srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096081796 The Department of Homeland Security is in charge of aviation security, border control, emergency response, and cybersecurity. Spencer Reid is a good candidate because he has experience in the FBI, and is incredibly smart. Also hot. 

Eggsy from Kingsmen would be a bit better, though.]]> 2022-03-15 14:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096081796 Inspector Gadget lcmartin9_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096081887 Inspector Gadget would be an excellent addition to the Cabinet concerning the Department of Transportation because he is constantly working with his gadgets. Sometimes they don't work, but that's okay because he has SPIRIT!!

I believe this creative and innovative mind will spark new ideas to make transportation in this country safer, more efficient, cheaper, and more fun for everyone. Maybe he won't come up with those ideas himself, but good ideas often stem from bad ones!]]> 2022-03-15 14:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096081887 Sherlock Holmes lcmartin9_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096083966 Sherlock Holmes is an excellent nominee for the Department of Justice because of his devotion to solving crimes. However selfish his intentions may be (admittedly, he only really does it to alleviate boredom), he truly puts all of his effort into solving cases he deems "interesting". 

Overlooking his slightly rocky past that involves illegal drugs, he could definitely help the justice system! We all know he follows the proper procedure every time he solves crimes, which is so important.]]> 2022-03-15 14:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096083966 Gnomeo srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096085944 The Secretary of Agriculture is in charge of agricultural research and teaching activites; they also handle the USDA and other similar agencies. Gnomeo is a good candidate because he has a lot of experience with the outdoors, and has the public's best interest at heart.]]> 2022-03-15 14:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096085944 The KLF Band lcmartin9_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096086030 Formed by Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond in 1987, the KLF were the art-pop pranksters who lit up the late Eighties and early Nineties with a series of anarchic acts, one of which will remain in the history books for ever: the burning of a million pounds on the Scottish island of Jura on August 23, 1994.

When asked why they did it, they replied, simply: "Because it was fun".

Therefore, the KLF, also known as the Band that Burned a Million Pounds, would be excellent members of the Department of Commerce. Having the guts to make such a statement about money so publicly really proves their dedication. 

Linked below is a short clip of the actual burning of the money. From the comments, you can clearly see the amount of support they have garnered from the public.

Charles Entertainment Cheese the Third would be the perfect candidate for veteran affairs because Charles Entertainment Cheese the First died in the war. Charles Entertainment Cheese the Third wants to honor his memory, since Charles Entertainment Cheese the First didn't get any healthcare after his service.]]> 2022-03-15 14:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096088100 Lady Gaga srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096088600 The Secretary of State advises the President and is in charge of foreign affairs. Lady Gaga would be a good candidate because she will whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh the ambassadors with her voice, and she loves the Paparazzi. She is rah-rah-oh-la-la a good candidate!]]> 2022-03-15 14:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096088600 Ms. Frizzle srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096090845 The Secretary of Education works to set national education policy within the nation. Ms. Frizzle would be a good candidate because she has worked in education and has the student's best interest at heart!]]> 2022-03-15 14:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096090845 Aloysius O' Hare willccar1_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096095447 The Department of Energy manages the United States' nuclear infrastructure and administers the country's energy policy. 

O'Hare would be the best secretary of energy because he made a multi-million dollar business on selling air. He knows how to make a business and then make it flourish. His energy would be the best. O'Hare could harness the power of his air and make billions for the American economy. By using renewable air based energy, he would save the world. O'Hare would be the best secretary of energy. 

What can he say but you're welcome; for saving the world.]]> 2022-03-15 14:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096095447 Mulan escrouch2_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096107624 The Department of the Interior manages public lands, national parks, and wildlife refuges. They also uphold federal trust responsibilities to Indian Tribes and Native Alaskians.

Mulan is the best candidate for the Department of the Interior because she was a soldier in China fighting against the Huns, and would best know how to manage the public lands and wildlife around the country, since she helped strategize where the army would fight. ]]> 2022-03-15 14:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2096107624 srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2098060811 2022-03-16 13:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2098060811 srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2098086314 2022-03-16 13:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2098086314 srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2098088447 2022-03-16 13:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2098088447 srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2098090060 2022-03-16 13:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/srturner6_4/ravmk7nnbky9eb69/wish/2098090060
