[Why set up two Senate confirmations? Slip Amb Bolton into State, and let the big dawg eat.]
Pompeo is already Senate-confirmed.... if I’m correct?
For the CIA position. He would have to be confirmed for State.
Senate confirmed Pompeo as head of CIA. Needs confirmation for any other Cabinet position. i.e. confirmation for one position is not confirmation for other positions. And, you can bet the Dems will never miss an opportunity to hit Repubs during a confirmation process, so it is unlikely they would just vote on the new position without grandstanding hearings.
