Particularly seeing as most politicians don’t know shit about most of the things they have a hand in, which is why there should be experts or people of experience in place to advise.
Although it appears that some people will “Yeah, but…” no matter what.

The president’s chief of staff is also an unelected person accountable to no one but the president. So if a reporter asked the president: “Would you put someone in as secretary of education if your chief of staff disapproved?” and the president said, “No, I value my chief of staff’s opinion,” we’d be having the same conversation about the president ceding their authority?
I know you don’t trust the judgment of teenagers. But that’s all this is about. There are no big constitutional issues, no ceding of presidential authority. It’s merely a president asking someone for input who would not normally be asked for input (in addition to all the people who would normally be asked for input).
Not to mention that we all know no power has been ceded. If it comes right down to it and Warren thinks the kids’ judgement is insane then Warren will simply go back on this promise. At that point, feel free to say “I told you so.” But that’s the actual worst case scenario.

Bernie says that Warren will play a big role in his cabinet or possibly be his veep. He endorses her judgement.
