President Donald Trump is in the process of choosing his Cabinet for the next four years of his presidency. He started appointing, officially, as soon as the election was over and is finishing appointing the positions that remain.
According to WhiteHouse.gov, established in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, the Cabinet’s role is to advise the President on any subject he may require relating to the duties of each member’s respective office.
Before the nominees can officially be in the Cabinet they must be approved by the Senate. According to AM New York, the vote requires a simple majority. It is very different from the appointment of Supreme Court Justices, which requires an approval of at least 60 senators. The senate must confirm over 1,000 positions in the executive branch.
When a nominee is selected they must go through a background check and be cleared by the FBI. The nomination is first reviewed by a Senate committee and then is referred to the full Senate and a simple majority must be met.
Many of Trump’s picks were chosen due to financial reasons. They supported Trump in his campaign and gave him money. Some were also businessmen and women that also worked with Trump before he ran for office.
Most of Trump’s picks had a personal connection with him throughout the election. They are either businessmen and women, who work with the government or support him financially.
