If we’re voting for a team and the guy in front of it isn’t that important, it should be no problem to replace that guy with someone who isn’t dragging the rest of the team down.

Bit idea: make a deck of cards with everyone's portraits, assigning different suits based on types of major transgressions and values based on rank in the administration.

Rember when the MAGAts made this exact same excuse in 2016 and everybody correctly shit on them because "You're not actually voting for a president when you're voting for a presodent" was a dogshit answer

He might literally have his brain leaking out of his head and be incapable of having meetings after 6:30 pm but he'll deffinitly choose good people for his cabinet, he's deffinitly not just surrounded by people trying to strip some of his power from him for personal gain.
