Every Time the President Focuses on a Policy, That Cabinet Secretary Disappears

What are the President’s big initiatives? Dealing with Obamacare would be one. Immigration would be another. Dealing with North Korea, China, and Russia would be a third — the reset of foreign policy.

Now look at the Cabinet.

We are without a Secretary of Health and Human Services. The President is promising action on healthcare now, but he is without his Secretary. Perhaps he can speed things up. Perhaps not.

We are without a Secretary of Homeland Security. The President has been sending mixed signals on immigration and has no Secretary of Homeland Security to help him implement his policies and give him advice.

We are, it would appear, soon to be without a Secretary of State.

……

Real or imagined, when the President starts focusing on an area of policy that Cabinet Secretary’s days seem numbered. Only with Homeland Security is it anomalous because General Kelly was moved to the White House. Even then, though, as the President revisits and revises DACA, there is no Secretary of Homeland Security.
