U.S. Secretary of State

The Resume

    (March 23, 1952- )
    Born in Wichita Falls, Texas
    69th U.S. Secretary of State, serving in the Trump administration
    Confirmed by a 56-43 vote by the United States Senate (February 1, 2017)
    Chairman/CEO of ExxonMobil (2006-2017)

Why he might be annoying:

    He had zero political and/or diplomatic experience when he took over as Secretary of State.
    His strong business ties to Russia raised the eyebrows of his critics.
    He donated nearly $500,000 dollars to Republican candidates and causes between 2000 and 2015.
    He donated to Jeb Bush's campaign for president instead of Trump's during the 2015/16 GOP primary season.
    His Secretary of State nomination was strongly opposed by environmental advocates.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He started working for Exxonmobil in 1975, working his way to the top of the corporate ladder over the next 40 years.
    An Eagle Scout, he served as president of the Boy Scouts of America for two years.
    He graduated University of Texas with an engineering degree.
    He's a Jack Daniel's (whisky) fan.
    His low-key, out of the spotlight approach stood in sharp contrast to the in-your-face approach of his 'boss.'
