Senate Vote to Confirm Hermit and Beef

[King]

As my first official acts as President Pro Tempore of the Senate, I call to vote the confirmation of Hermit as Secretary of the State Department and Beef as Secretary of the Treasury Department. All in favor Aye, all opposed Nay. You must cast seperate votes for each.

[The Dowager Mod]

These votes need to be separate.

You can vote seperately if you want to. My vote will be...

Hermit: Aye

Woo-hoo!  That's six for me.  I assume the PPT or VP confirms the vote.  Then is there a swearing in?

I'll have four weeks to hammer out a workable economic policy, so I can hand it off to the incoming Nation Administration :-).
