23. Advise and consent

The Senate Dems did just that. They advised the country that Bush's pick was an incompetent moron, and then they consented to Bush's choice.

The Senate has, for over two hundred years "rubber stamped" the Presidential cabinet picks. And the next time we have a Democratic President we're going to expect the Senate - regardless of who has the majority - to do just that.
