senate confirmation of cabinet members

The vice-president is elected by the electoral college. He is not appointed by the President and so does not need confirmation by the Senate.
To be a cabinet member, the individual must first receive a nomination from the President of the United States, which is then subject to confirmation by the Senate. Once confirmed, the individual can officially be appointed as a cabinet member and begin their duties.
In the United States, the President appoints cabinet members. These appointments require confirmation by the Senate, which reviews the qualifications of the nominees. Cabinet members typically lead federal departments and advise the President on various policy areas.
The Senate has the 'confirmation power', they confirm or deny all of the presidents appointments (cabinet, judicial, ambassador). The senate's confirmation power the senate shares with the president the responsibility for filling many high-level government positions.
Cabinet members are appointed by the President; with Senate approval.
The U.S. Senate has rejected a president's appointment of a cabinet member only a few times in history. Notably, the most famous rejection occurred in 1989 when John Tower was denied confirmation as Secretary of Defense. Overall, there have been fewer than a dozen instances of cabinet-level nominations being rejected by the Senate. These rejections are relatively rare, reflecting the collaborative nature of the appointment process.
In the United States, prospective administration cabinet members are first selected and nominated by the president. They must be confirmed by the senate before becoming a member of the president's cabinet.

It is fairly rare but it happens. Usually the President finds out in advance that a candidate will have difficulties being confirmed and withdraws the name.(Supreme court nominees are much more likely to be rejected than are cabinet nominees.)
False
Cabinet members are appointed by the President. They are subject to the confirmation of the Senate; and as their terms are not fixed, they may be replaced at any time by the President.
