10. Federal Reserve and other regulatory nominations<br />

You May Not Know: <strong>The</strong> US Treasury Secretary heads a department of over 86,000 employees and a $14 billion annual budget.<br />

than his predecessor, Jack Lew. While comprehensive tax reform is a top priority (notably, the IRS sits within Treasury), it should<br />

be noted that tax laws are set by the US Congress.<br />
