My personal fears for the future of our nation prompted this petition. I worry about the people shaping our policies and preserving our democracy. As a citizen concerned about the defense of our Constitution from threats both domestic and foreign, I firmly believe we need nominees who prioritize the public interest over self-interest. I call on every politician in congress especially the Republican party to ensure that all of Trump's cabinet and position nominees are suitably qualified for their designated roles.

Relevant historical data reflects my concerns. According to The Brookings Institution's data, an unprecedented number of Trump’s initial cabinet appointees lacked public sector experience compared to past administrations (Brookings Institution, 2018). This lack of necessary expertise compromises successful policy development and execution, of utmost importance in maintaining our democratic structures.

I appeal to the Senators involved in the confirmation process. Close scrutiny of the qualifications of all future nominees is crucial to safeguard the integrity of our institutions. The role you play in this process affects us all. I ask you, our elected representatives, to protect the vital interests of our nation by verifying the qualifications of all nominees for cabinet positions.

This is not a partisan issue. It's about ensuring the survival of our democratic structures for future generations. Please, consider the weight of this responsibility. Sign this petition to demand accountability and integrity in the confirmation of nominees.
