Number: RL31346 Title: Presidential Appointments to Full-Time Positions in Executive Departments During the 107th Congress, 2001-2002 Authors: Henry B. Hogue, Government and Finance Division Abstract: This report provides an overview of the process for filling positions to which the President makes appointments with the advice and consent of the Senate. It also specifies, for the first session of the 107th Congress, all nominations to full-time positions in the 14 executive departments. A profile of each department tracks the department's nominations, providing information on Senate activity (i.e., confirmations, rejections, returns to the President, and elapsed time between nomination and confirmation) as well as further related presidential activity (i.e., withdrawals and recess appointments). The profiles also identify, for each department, positions requiring Senate confirmation, the incumbents in those positions, dates they were confirmed, dates their terms expire, if applicable, and pay levels.
