∙ 9y ago
The president-elect draws up a list of candidates after consulting with campaign advisers, congressional leaders, and representatives of interest groups. Key campaign staffers meet with potential candidates to discuss the issues facing the department they may be asked to head. Before making the final decisions, members of the president-elect may leak some candidates' names to the news media to test the reaction of Congress, interest groups, and the public. The senate then holds confirmation hearings on the president's nominees for cabinet posts. The nominee to head each department appears before the Senate committee that oversees the department to answer questions about his or her background or views.
