The president has broad authority to nominate who ever he wants for these roles whether they are qualified or not. I don’t think this is up for debate, and to be frank it shouldn’t even be debated. The boss gives the job to whoever he wants (a good leader chooses the right person, a bad leader does what Dozing Donald does).
But if a blatantly unqualified person gets the job, that’s on congress for playing politics instead of doing their job as they are supposed to.
