The resignations have begun. John Ashcroft and Don Evans submitted their resignations to the President today. John Ashcroft served as Attorney General and Don Evans as Commerce Secretary for the full first term of President Bush. Possible replacements for Ashcroft are his deputy, Larry Thompson, former governor Marc Racicot, and White House counsel Alberto Gonzales. One possible replacement for Evans is the national finance chairman for the Bush campaign, Mercer Reynolds. It should be noted that neither of these men were asked to leave.
Three cabinet members have asked to stay: Ann Veneman, Agriculture Secretary; Gale Norton, Interior Secretary; and EPA Administrator Michael Leavitt.
We're still waiting on word regarding Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice, who could be considered a replacement for either of them. She has said she does not want to stay where she is. I think she would be excellent at either job.
