There are about 1,200 Senate-confirmed posts, and even more appointed positions that don’t require the Senate’s signoff. By his 65th day and first press conference Biden submitted 68 names to the Senate, according to the Partnership for Public Service. That’s more than George W. Bush or Donald Trump had at this point in their terms but fewer than the 109 names submitted by Barack Obama. 29 of the 68 had been confirmed. Biden had appointed an unprecedented number — more than 1,200 — to non-Senate-confirmed jobs. | There are about 1,200 Senate-confirmed posts, and even more appointed positions that don’t require the Senate’s signoff.
