The men and women listed below were nominated by President Barack Obama to form his initial Cabinet and were confirmed by the United States Senate on the date noted. An elected Vice President does not require Senate confirmation, nor do White House staff positions like chief of staff or press secretary. Secretary Gates was previously confirmed by the Senate (as President Bush's Secretary of Defense) and therefore does not need to be re-confirmed.
