28. I think he's term limited

Tue Dec 3, 2024, 11:32 PM

Dec 2024

though has a couple of years left this term. He must be willing to move on, though, since he ran in the R primaries.

I would not want to be a politician for all of the money in the world and that goes for cabinet positions, too. DoD would be bottom of my list (I'm very anti war) but he was in the military and a JAG so he may want to do it.
