Dear XXX TV,
Thank you for contacting me regarding President Trump’s cabinet nominations. I always appreciate hearing from XXXXX.
Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution provides that “[the President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law.”
I look forward to working with President Trump to expeditiously advance his nominees through the Senate confirmation process. And, beginning on January 20, 2025, the Senate should move swiftly to confirm these nominations so that President Trump can carry out his agenda that the American people have entrusted him to implement.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Please be assured that I will keep them in mind as this process takes course.
Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me. If you would like regular updates on my work for XXXXX, please sign up for my weekly newsletter or follow me on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Sincerely,
Marsha Blackburn
United States Senator
