(9,720 posts)The Secretary of the Treasury is a mostly ceremonial position with no real power to implement anything. The Secretary of the Treasury can make suggestions and give speeches, but the real power resides in the Federal Reserve. Removing powerful Senators and governors from important positions and putting them in cabinet posts with no power is a terrible mistake.

(2,190 posts)I agree that she'd be great. But Massachusetts has a Republican governor who would choose her replacement. That replacement would serve until an expedited special election was held.

(509 posts)I respect that you mean well. But Elizabeth Warren is currently running for President and judging by the polls, is one of the top 3 or 4 candidates.
It feels sexist to me to find other, lower level positions for her to fill when she is running such a terrific campaign for the top job and people like her, they really like her.

(130,753 posts)Eliz Warren made an impressive discussion of her thoughts and plans for the economy on Lawrence O'D show, and there is NO reason NOT to consider her (and ANY candidate) for positions other than President, when they appear so well qualified.

(509 posts)My post clearly articulated how I personally felt by a post suggesting the top female candidate for President would be a good fit for a lower level cabinet position. I accused no one.
