Thanks for that, Kato. That's still good information for those of us that do retain the MilGov-CivGov split in their campaigns because it sheds some light on how CivGov would have filled positions when it first attempted to reconvene government. And past a certain point MilGov wouldn't have much cared whether legitimate successors existed or not, their continuation of martial law was always on shaky legal ground anyway.

I don't doubt that the Joint Chiefs were patriots, every one, but they must have felt that during times of such extreme crisis they were in a better position to run the nation that what remained of the pre-exchange government. I guess they figured that by the time enough of the federal judicial system had been put back together and in a position to challenge MilGov's legality, it would all be moot anyway.
