The US Senate has confirmed the long-awaited candidacy of Dr. Vivek Murthy for the general surgeon on Monday, as Democrats pushed to adopt some of the stalled selection of Obama for public office before Republicans take power in Congress next year.
Obama's choice for the top US health work was approved 51-43. Previously, Murphy barely cleared a procedural hurdle after he drew opposition for his support of strict rules weapons.
Obama congratulated the Senate and said in a statement that Murthy would "help us to build on the progress we have made the fight against Ebola virus, both in our country and its source."
The Senate will vote Tuesday on another controversial candidate Sarah Saldana. Her candidacy for the presidency of Immigration and Customs Enforcement office law bogged down after she says the executive president of action was lawful immigration.
The Senate planned to vote Murthy, Saldana and three other candidates on Monday and Tuesday as part of a push Majority Leader Harry Reid to get the nomination by the Senate before he goes home for a year.
Reid hopes to move about 20 candidates later this week in the process he started last weekend when the delay tactics by conservative Republicans in government spending bill in the Senate is stored in the session unexpectedly and gave him the opening.
Last year, the Democrats as Republicans rabies changing Senate rules so government nomination can go to confirmation by a simple majority of votes from the 100 members of the Senate, not the 60 qualified majority voting.
However, some candidates, nobody. Obama appointed Murthy year ago, but some Republicans and the National Rifle Association criticized his views gun control. Senator Ted Cruz, a conservative Republican, called Murthy "anti-gun activist."
Murthy, who works as a doctor of internal medicine in Boston, also performed Affordable Care Act initiative in health and Obama's signature anathema to most Republicans.
Supporters Murthy noted more than 100 healthcare organizations approved it, calling it "highly qualified, forward-thinking, innovative leader with a strong commitment to public health."
"This is a political hack comes when 100 organizations or say the doctor?" Senator Dick Durbin said, № 2 Senate Democrat.
