The President made several nominations and
appointments last week. These included important appointments to
the trade and export agencies which were the centerpiece of the
President's national effort to increase exports.
Many of the nominations are now to fill the last of open policy
positions of the Obama administration. The openings which occur
from time-to-time because of death or retirement are also being
routinely filled at this time.

The United States Senate rules that require more
than 51 votes - a majority - to confirm appointments - or that allow
one Senator to block appointments or legislation with "holds" - are
precisely what the 1776 Revolution was about - eliminate them!
Senators are taking themselves way too seriously! The Senators -
of both parties - have acted for decades like they prefer powdered
wigs and silk underwear to representing US citizens. It has
become body of spoiled brats and people who believe way too much in
their own entitlement. John Isaacson,
Director@Presidential-Appointments.org. 03-12-10
