Chris put together a list of the names on the short list for various cabinet positions in the Obama administration. I emailed him to say he missed one.
Here is the corrected version:
STATE: Sen. John Kerry, Richard Holbrooke, Sen. Chuck Hagel, Sam Nunn, Colin Powell
TRANSPORTATION: Steve HemingerTREASURY: Tim Gethner, Larry Summers, Laura D’Andrea Tyson, Jon Corzine, Robert Rubin
VETERANS AFFAIRS: Max Cleland, Tammy Duckworth, Donna Shalala
AWESOMENESS: Jacki Schechner
EPA: Robert Kennedy Jr., Kathleen McGinty
TRADE REPRESENTATIVE: Lael Brainard, Cal Dooley, Thomas (Mac) McLarty, Daniel Tarullo, Michael WesselOMB: Daschle
I was neither talented nor motivated enough to amend the flowchart.
Is the Sect. of Awesomeness a Senate confirmable position? Obviously, I’m not disputing the choice of candidate … just curious.
Overall awesomeness actually trumps Congressional approval/disapproval so any Senate confirmation process would be simply a formality.
