Its Official! Hillary Clinton is Confirmed By a Vote of 94-2!
Its Official! By a vote of 94-2 Senator Hillary Clinton-Rodham will now be known as Secretary of State Clinton.
After much consideration and just one hold up from Senator John Cornyn a Republican from Texas who probably just wanted to throw his weight around a little, she has been confirmed by her colleagues to run the U.S. State Dept.
A series of questions were raised during the hearings regarding her husband, former U.S. President Bill Clinton's Global Foundation and donations from Foreign Governments being made to that Foundation.
She assured the Senate that no conflicts of interest due to her husband's Fundraising/Foreign Affairs work would complicate her work with the U.S. State Department.
Clinton stressed that the Obama Administration would rely more so on "Smart Power" versus using Force when negotiating with other Global Leaders.
Eric Holder, President Obama's pick for U.S. Attorney General has been delayed for one week.
