The stimulus sets forth several rules.

Foreign citizens cannot serve as cabinet secretaries. This is justified because cabinet secretaries need to do things that only domestic citizens can do (and foreign citizens can’t do).

No one should be appointed to a position that involves duties a person can’t perform.

In addition, a cabinet undersecretary is expected to serve as cabinet secretary when the actual cabinet secretary is unavailable.

Since cabinet undersecretaries are expected to serve as cabinet secretaries at some times, and foreign citizens can’t serve as cabinet secretaries, this strongly suggests foreign citizens shouldn’t serve as cabinet undersecretaries.

Unsupported. Nothing in the stimulus concerns conditions for granting citizenship. We know that non-citizens shouldn’t serve in certain positions. That doesn’t imply we should ever make them citizens.

Strongly supported. Foreign citizens can’t serve as cabinet secretaries, so they shouldn’t serve as undersecretaries, who would be expected to occasionally step in as cabinet secretaries. No one should be appointed to a position whose duties they can’t fulfill.

Unsupported. We know foreign citizens shouldn’t be cabinet secretaries. But nothing excludes non-former-undersecretaries from serving as cabinet secretaries.

Unsupported. The author doesn’t provide reasons to change the current restrictions on service. The stimulus simply describes the rules, and we are supposed to apply them. Not advocate for a change.

Unsupported. We’re not given reasons that undersecretaries shouldn’t step in for the secretaries. We’re given reasons a foreign citizen should not serve as an undersecretary or secretary. The stimulus doesn’t give us enough to infer that rules should be changed.
