I can’t imagine Hillary would wanna be HHS Secretary. I’d vote to confirm her for just about anything, but it would never happen.

Could be swayed on the two no votes, though probably not on Murkowski (mainly for pragmatic reasons).

Some of them are very implausible, but whatever.

I would approve Yovanovitch, Petraeus, Cordray, Bowman, Lhota, Gore, Gabbard and McRaven.
I would not approve Bloomberg.
I have no idea about Zients.
I am undecided on Cuomo, Kelly, Murkowski, Weingarten and Clinton.

Would Bowman beat the record for the shortest House tenure ever?

This. I'd probably confirm most of these, but overall, it's a pretty weird cabinet. Biden could do a lot better.



The shortest House tenure ever was Effingham Lawrence's 1 day from Mar. 3-4, 1875, so no.

Interesting. Indeed, one day is literally impossible to beat.

Yep, though he'd still have the 2nd shortest House tenure ever if he only ended up serving for ~17 days (Jan. 3rd-20th).

Marie Yovanovitch doesn't really make sense for SoS.  There's no reason to believe she has any particular expertise outside of American-Ukrainian relations.
