APPROACHING the golden mark of 100 hours in office, President Dennis McVicker (LIB) has achieved near 100% completion of administration official confirmation pending finalisation of the proposition rule.
As at the time of writing, Pres. McVicker he has yet to nominate or confirm an Associate Justice to the General Court - which was a key feature in a campaign ad attacking former President Luxis Avaram. On the economy we've seen no plan to stimulate growth and improve financial opportunity or fluidity in the marketplace. Now we have seen the President appoint the very rival he accused of inaction - former President Avaram himself - to fill one of the two vacant seats on the court.
Despite his best intentions to build a solid establishment on his campaign promise to "bring an end to big government" - the McVicker administration is perhaps the largest executive branch we've seen since the Meissner administration - maybe larger.
In response to the Herald's invitation to comment, Pres. McVicker said he announced a "comprehensive plan during the election" although there are no current efforts to specifically address economic fluidity hold ups in the financial market - another key attack slogan of the McVicker election effort.
The administration proposals put forward have largely benefited key McVicker campaign contributors and campaign assistants or people who have either traditionally been supportive, or have since aligned themselves to the president. In response Pres. McVicker rebuffed the suggestion that the advice he would receive was balanced with supporters and non-supporters alike in his team.
"My cabinet consists of two Libertarians, a member of the Conservative party, another from the RNC, an Independent, and former president Avaram's nominee for VP who is a member of the Whig Party. I think I have appointed the most diverse cabinet of any president since Eric Meissner. My cabinet is as open to suggestion as was any administration before us", Pres. McVicker said.
Based on the voting returns from propositions already on the books, there has so far been no record of dissidence from members of the administration despite some holding historic opposite views to some of the President's ideas.
As a tongue-in-cheek question intended to soften the weight of the interview, we asked the President which Republican he would rather go up against in the general election. "As far as who I'd be most comfortable going up against, as of now I have no plans on running for re-election. I plan on looking at that issue if and when a new election is called".
On the issue of the Court - it seems the new commander-in-chief is taking a solid bet on a solid citizen with one vacancy left if his former opponent is confirmed - a realistic win. On the economy - President Dennis McVicker is yet to score on the most crucial issue of his presidency as he reached the official end of the grace period of the Libertarian-led government.
