Most Cabinet picks were once confirmed by voice vote — no count needed.

Before the 1980s, Senate confirmations were often uncontested and approved by voice vote in minutes. Contested roll-call confirmation battles are a modern phenomenon, driven by rising political polarization.

Only 9 Cabinet nominees have ever been rejected by a Senate floor vote.

Since 1789, the Senate has confirmed hundreds of Cabinet picks. Most failed nominations are withdrawn before a vote. The 'advice and consent' clause in Article II has been formally used to reject a nominee fewer than 10 times in 235+ years.
