Rivera won't be anywhere on congress' radar. Searched for the information on this theme, and only here I found it. so he may be influential with Salazar. but sub-cabinet members like

Along with Ray at the Interior Dept. is Ned Farquhar, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Land and Minerals, Deanna Archuleta, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Water and Science, Sylvia Baca, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals(yes, there are two), and Hilary Thompkins as Solicitor, and she is really in a powerful position as her Senate Confirmation holds put on the the republicans showed.

Ken Salazar. As for Manning, isn't FEMA part of the the Dept. of Homeland Security? So he's two steps removed from the secretary, right?. Still, I concede the pt about appointees that are Senate-confirmed. They are by definition senior level administration positions, and Rivera doesn't fall into that particular category. (but maybe as jbaca speculates, that day too will come.) I guess this is a drawn out way of saying that's why I used the word "arguably." Massive/equisitus,
