Six Cabinet Officials Confirmed - less one Secretary of State named Hillary Clinton

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Even in the midst of the pomp and glory that January 20th, 2009 brought with it, the United States Senate went to work and approved seven administration officials in the afternoon.

They were as follows:

Steven Chu - confirmed as energy secretary
Arne Duncan - secretary of education
Janet Napolitano - secretary of homeland security
former Senator Ken Salazar - secretary of the interior
retired Gen. Eric Shinseki - secretary of veterans affairs
former Iowa Gov. Tim Vilsack - secretary of agriculture.

Missing from the list was Senator Hilary Clinton. Now wait just a minute. Wasn't she supposed to be President Obama's Secretary of State?
The answer is yes, but unfortunately another roll-call for Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton will be delayed until tomorrow, as an objection to her being seated as Secretary of State was objected by a single republican senator named John Cornyn of Texas.
Does anyone think that she will not get the job? I hardly think so, but I would imagine that the lone Senator that voted against her may take some heat for his rejection of her confirmation as Secretary of State. Maybe it would be well noted here to find out more information about the lone senator and information may be published here at a later date.
