 Bush's choice as housing secretary approved by Senate
The Senate approved President Bush's nominee for housing secretary, Alphonso Jackson, late Wednesday, despite threats from Democrats to block the nomination in protest of White House appointments of federal judges while Congress is out of session.

Daschle, D-S.D., last week threatened to hold up judicial nominations after Bush temporarily put Mississippi judge Charles Pickering and Alabama Attorney General William Pryor on federal appeals courts while the Senate was in recess earlier this year.

 William Henry Harrison
He was inaugurated at Washington on 4 March, 1841, and immediately sent to the senate his nominations for cabinet officers, which were confirmed.
In 1819 General Harrison was chosen to the senate of Ohio, and in 1822 was a candidate for congress, but was defeated on account of his vote against the admission of Missouri to the Union with the restriction that slavery was to be prohibited there.
Peace having been made with the Indians, Captain Harrison resigned his commission on 1 June, 1798, and was immediately appointed by President John Adams secretary of the northwest territory, under General Arthur St. Clair as governor, but in October, 1799, resigned to take his seat as territorial delegate in congress.
