The US President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn into office in under two weeks. Whether he has a bureau prepared to help him on the very beginning to a great extent relies on upon how quick the men and ladies he tapped to lead government organizations can be affirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Eight of Trump's picks will sit for affirmation hearings on Capitol Hill this week and they can expect a flame broiling.
Here are when all the committee hearings are taking place.
