Agency nominees—including heads of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services, and others announced by Trump last week—require Senate confirmation.

Trump’s most controversial Cabinet nominees are ideologues and eccentrics chosen for loyalty.

This year's nominees may be more recognisable than previous acts were at this stage in their careers.
