Dawes

Dawes was a member of the Cabinet of President Wayne Palmer during Day 6.

Day 6
Secretary Dawes was summoned to participate in a 25th Amendment proceeding when Vice President Noah Daniels challenged the Presidency of Wayne Palmer. Daniels cited Palmer's health and behavior as reasons for removing him from office, and a Cabinet vote was required.

White House Chief of Staff Tom Lennox arranged the meeting. Secretary Dawes, Secretary Durant, and Attorney General Kevin Graves were not in Washington, DC, so they were connected to the meeting in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center through live video feeds. By the early minutes of 9pm, Dawes was the only one to be teleconferenced in the meeting. While they waited for the others and the President to arrive, Lennox asked Dawes if he could hear and see the meeting clearly, and Dawes confirmed that his connection was good.

With the rest of the Cabinet, Secretary Dawes heard testimony from the President, the Vice President, and Arthur Welton. When the vote was taken, he voted to retain Wayne as President. The vote was in favor of Palmer. Though Daniels contested the vote of Karen Hayes later, this second challenge was discarded by Daniels, and Palmer remained active as President until he collapsed on live television.
