The vote against Rice’s confirmation was the highest against a nominee for secretary of state at least since World War II. Henry Kissinger was approved 78-7, Dean Acheson 83-6 and Alexander Haig 93-6.

Twelve Democrats and one independent, Sen. James M. Jeffords of Vermont, opposed Rice’s confirmation. Several other Democrats criticized U.S. policy and Rice’s role in helping to shape it as President Bush’s assistant for national security.

But led by Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., D-Del., they deferred to President Bush as having the prerogative to select his Cabinet.
