Commentary:

I noted that there are no "qualifications" stated. Perhaps for this White House, loyalty would be at the top of the list. Writing as a communications skill is not needed, since no one reads important information. Hey, we've only done one Presidential Alert in modern memory, so this alert and warning thing is a piece of cake!!
