There's presumably a statute somewhere that covers this....though, after Jacob's suggestion, Robert Gates is another quasi-plausible result. Depends on the timing, though.

Obama's plans to nominate someone for a cabinet position wouldn't have any constitutional standing though. If Obama is never sworn in as President, his preference for Defense Secretary wouldn't matter.
