PREMISE OF THE SUIT
SPADES are members of President George W. Bush's Administration, either Cabinet members or Advisors. The departments they lead implement the rules and policies established by the Administration as well as by the laws passed by the U.S. Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate. They are in power as appointees of the President who is in office because of the choices made in the 2000 Presidential election by the voters and the U.S. Supreme Court.
