The recent letter to the editor from Irwin E. Weiss (“Cabinet appointments deserve closer scrutiny,” Dec. 5) is spot on. However, since the general public does not have the ability to conduct the necessary background, experience and fitness checks, nor approve or reject a candidate, it is left up to the U.S. Senate to do so.
So, the general public must write to senators. These can be from their own state or even from outside their state if it is felt they may bring some objectivity to bear.
