Do you think US Government Cabinet Members should be able to take long maternity or paternity leave?

Or, even a short duration. What’s ok? How long?

I heard a discussion about Secretary Pete Buttigieg taking leave for his new babies. This reminded me of when a journalist asked candidate Al Gore if he would put the country or his family first.

When you have a top position and responsibility in government is it ok to be absent?

Was Buttigieg truly away from his job, or was he actually doing some work from home?
