The Rabbi, are you of the opinion that this new agency is yet another Cabinet position? That rather than being made part of Treasury, it is coequal to it?
Is the EPA a cabinet level agency? Dees the head of EPA have to go through confirmation process? What about the Civil Rights COmmission? What about the Trade Representative?
The answer is that none of them are technically in the Cabinet yet the heads of all of them must be confirmed by the Senate.
Why is this appointment different?
I admit it, The Rabbi...I'm not entirely sure. I think possibly some positions go through the Senate as a matter of custom (which could not be the case as to a brand new job), like the FDA, etc. Add to that, the appointment is not permanent, and the question of whether this is constitutional is pretty well answered for me.
If it is not constitutional, I'm sure Rabbi can challenge the appointment through the courts and he will win
