    It should be his right to not have his medical condition not blasted to the news the moment something changes. Don’t know why he should not have that right

      Details of condition, yes. But I can see the argument that such an important appointment should let the people know if the holder is incapacitated for a long time. That being said, yes the President’s cabinet and they only answer to the president, not the general public.

      Chinese politicians aren’t given that right. Russian politicians aren’t given that right. What makes this guy different?

        Well he’s not Chinese or Russian for one. And I think no matter your status you still should have basic human rights like privacy

      Keeping it a secret inherently aides the gerontocracy. If you’re interested in preserving your privacy don’t take a cabinet position.
