Nope...That's the Senate's job.
Wrong. The Senate only gets to advise and consent. Up or down vote with comments.
If the R Senators vote her down then W has miscalculated, but I don't think they will. Right now, they are performing for their red meat base...us. They will vote her in, trust me.
And BTW, that's how I got my first corporate job...with no experience, based upon the interviewers belief that I could handle it well. Happens all the time.
First, if it did not work out you could be fired. Second, they were not hiring you to be chairman of the board with no qualificaitons.
