Pardon my ignorance. Why is this appointment in the finance committee? Have all the appointments been in the finance committee? I will probably figure this out on my own in the next 15 minutes and feel dumb, but it's not adding up.

They only need ONE Republican to say no in "the committee" and all this time I thought it was a committee related to the actual appointment's role.
