Here's a list of President Trump's current Cabinet, along with those technically not in the Cabinet but serving at that level and attending Cabinet meetings. This is an important list, for these are the folks actually responsible at the highest level for interpreting and implementing the laws that Congress passes. After each name is their department or agency...followed by the Senate vote total for their confirmation (if necessary). You'll notice that some of them, like Mattis in Defense, Chao in Transportation, Shulkin in Veterans Affairs, and Haley as UN Ambassador, sailed through with very little opposition while others like Mnuchin in Treasury, Sessions in Justice, Mulvaney in Management and Budget, and especially DeVos in Education, were confirmed in very close votes...DeVos needed Vice-President Pence to step in with his Constitutionally-mandated role as Senate tie-breaker to put her over the top...not exactly a ringing endorsement. Tom Price was the original Secretary of Health and Human Services but resigned in scandal...his replacement has yet to be named and confirmed. From where I am, I see the foreign policy, defense, and national security appointments as being pretty sound, but domestically there are problems. Pruitt at EPA is a climate change denier, social safety net programs may be threatened in some of these departments and agencies, Sessions as A.G. of all things seems focused on incarcerating as many pot users as he can, and DeVos wants to defend the predatory for-profit colleges that spew out worthless degrees while placing their students in insurmountable debt. These leaders...all directly answerable to Trump except Pence who was elected to his post...bear the utmost scrutiny...it's a compelling reason that either the Senate or the House should be under Democratic Party majority control just so that they can hold these departments and agencies accountable and call hearings when there are important questions. I don't trust the Republicans to step up and fill this vital role. Acknowledgment is due to Wikipedia which provided the framework for this list as I then modified it and added the Senate votes...
