Senate Confirms Sebelius

President Barack Obama now has a complete Cabinet. On Tuesday, the Senate confirmed Kathleen Sebelius to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Hours later, the former Kansas governor was sworn in an Oval Office ceremony. Democrats had sought a quick vote on Sebelius as Congress moves ahead with health-care reform this summer, but Republicans slowed her advancement because of her support for abortion rights. But GOP procedural objections faded with the recent outbreak of swine flu and the threat of a global pandemic. The Senate vote was 65 to 31.
