Per WP:CRYSTAL, we won'r place Hilary Clinton on List of Secretaries of State of the United States until she is formally announced/chosen for the position. Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 00:51, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

So why was Barack Obama placed on the list List of Presidents of the United States before he was actually formally elected? Boris Xwatsky (talk) 01:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As I said for the secretary of state page, The country can't change their mind on Obama and Biden. But Obama can changes his on his Sec of State.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 04:20, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, the Electoral College could have elected someone else President. Or Obama could die before he is supposed to take office. So we don't know for sure, 100 %, that Obama will be President. But after November 5, it was very likely. And it is very likely Clinton will be Secretary of State, now Obama has asked her and she has accepted the post. It would be political suicide for Obama to reject Clinton (and half of the Democratic party) now. The Clinton entry in the list of secretaries did not say that she had become Secretary - it said that she is expected to be the Secretary - just like Obama is expected to become President in late January.

 * You got a source for her actually accepting the position?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 09:13, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
