I must decline the nomination for president, though I do appreciate the faith my fellow cabinet member shows in my abilities. I do not feel there is any need to replace our president, and do not wish to distract him from his duties by making him worry about an election. And he would get my vote even if I were running against him, and I have no desire to be VP again.
That said, I accept the nominations for domestic leader, and for trade leader, and hope to serve Phoenatica in one of these respects.
