236. It is an historic No vote total

Typically a president gets most of his cabinet nominees without much problem.

Senators have cast "nay" votes against only five of the 30 people nominated to be America's top diplomat since the start of the 20th Century.

Henry Kissinger had the most opposition, drawing seven negative votes as President Richard Nixon's nominee in 1973 during the Vietnam War. Rice appeared likely to at least match Kissinger's total of negative votes.
