From the Washington Post: "The Senate approved seven of President Obama's Cabinet-level appointees yesterday but delayed a planned vote on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's confirmation to be secretary of state because of objections from a Republican member."
As his first official act, President Obama formally nominated his choices for various Cabinet and executive branch positions. These nominations were transmitted to the Senate, and the Senate confirmed seven of the nominations in a voice vote. The action was recorded in the Congressional Record. A transcript of the inaugural ceremony is also included in the January 20 Congressional Record.
