Because before a Cabinet officer takes office, they have to be nominated and confirmed for the position. He is shot down due to it being illegal.

Guys, you know it's not a great idea to stack your cabinet with nothing but well-known political names. For one thing, you're taking a lot of people out of electoral politics that you probably want to KEEP in politics. This was the Obama mistake. Better to use people who are out of electoral politics, leaving electoral politics, or people from the other side in electoral politics, or even better,
NOT POLITICIANS
