Brian Schatz of the Hawaii Senatorial
caucus has blocked individual nominations
to become Ambassadors just by "unanimous
Consent" -- this means such State Department
appointees as Cabinet-level official
U.N. Ambassador; also,
Ambassador to the Holy See
(Vatican City, world's smallest
sovereign nation). Other
named would-be diplomats
must receive a minimum of
60 senators' approval.
