发帖数: 2596 | 1 Only nine Cabinet appointees in all of U.S. history — by new presidents
plus ones attempting to fill vacancies in the middle of their terms — have
ever been voted down by the Senate.
The most recent Senate veto came in 1989, when John Tower, President George
H.W. Bush’s pick for secretary of defense, went down to defeat 53–47 amid
revelations of alcohol abuse, womanizing and conflicts of interest. And that
was with a hostile, Democratic-controlled Senate;
the last same-party Senate to nix a president’s nominee did so in 1925.

不过很多时候是nominee自己决定withdraw,所以也不用投了。 | y****8
