Tracker of Trump Administration Nominations

Excellent resource for adlaw geeks interested in transition. Per the Washington Post here:

The Post and Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, are tracking these 662 executive branch appointments through the nomination process. These positions include Cabinet secretaries, deputy and assistant secretaries, chief financial officers, general counsel, heads of agencies, ambassadors and other critical leadership positions. All require Senate confirmation.

[ Here are the people whose names have been floated for Trump’s Cabinet]

The Senate confirmation process can begin when the newly elected 115th Congress convenes on Jan. 3, 2017 — two weeks before Trump’s inauguration. The Senate can begin holding hearings to confirm Trump’s eventual nominees during this period.

In total, the transition team will need to find people to fill more than 3,600 positions.
