The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved Pres Barack Obama's choice to be his top arms control official in late October, after a September committee hearing raised few red flags and the nominee won the support of a key Republican senator. Rose Gottemoeller, nominated in May to be undersecretary of state for arms control and international security to replace Ellen Tauscher, has been serving as acting undersecretary and as assistant secretary for arms control, verification, and compliance. She was the main US negotiator for the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Republican senators have been suggesting for months that any US-Russian arms control treaty that Obama might submit for Senate approval would likely be rejected and that they oppose the idea of pursuing an informal process with Russia that would not be subject to Senate approval.

The recruitment of presidential nominees has long been an arduous process. In working with the Pew Charitable Trusts, the U of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the James A. Baker Instit, & the Presidential Appointee Initiative, the White House Interview Program (WHIP) was able to create software: Nomination Forms Online (NFO). This software considerably reduces the time that presidential nominees must spend filling out forms, answering questionnaires, & providing the personal information required by Senate confirmation committees. Though not fully implemented by the Bush administration, the NFO software did influence the transition period. 3 References. K. Larsen

Models of nomination politics in the USA often find 'gridlock' in equilibrium because of the supermajority requirement in the Senate for the confirmation of presidential nominees. A blocking coalition often prefers to defeat any nominee. Yet empirically nominations are successful. In the present article we explore the possibility that senators can be induced to vote contrary to their nominal (gridlock-producing) preferences through contributions from the president and/or lobbyists, thus breaking the gridlock and confirming the nominee. We model contributions by the president and lobbyists according to whether payment schedules are conditioned on the entire voting profile, the vote of a senator, or the outcome. We analyze several extensions to our baseline approach, including the possibility that lobbyists may find it more productive to offer inducements to the president in order to affect his proposal behavior, rather than trying to induce senators to vote for or against a given nominee.
