The Dilemmas of Perdue’s Confirmation Process Despite His Qualifications
President Trump has been experiencing several delays in the confirmation of his Cabinet, including with Sonny Perdue, the nominee for the Secretary of Agriculture. The first step of the confirmation process is to be nominated by the president or president-elect. Then, the nominee undergoes hearings before Senate committees. If the nominee is voted out of committee, then he or she goes before the entire Senate body, the final step of confirmation. Although Perdue has been nominated, he has not yet obtained a date for the hearing before the committees. Perdue has had previous government experience, though, which would help him adjust to this influential job.

    Today president Trump announced that the new federal reserve chair to replace Janet Yellen as Jerome Powell. This choice of the new federal reserve chair is seen by many as a safe choice, as he has consistently held similar ideology regarding interest rate hikes to Janet Yellen, the current fed chair.

By not giving the incumbent fed chair another term, Donald Trump has broken the precedent, in which the past fed chair would be reappointed for at least…
