It looks like President Obama’s cabinet reshuffling is not finished.

 

According to the Denver Post, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will step down from his position and return to Colorado.

 

Salazar  joins outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta, and Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis.

 

Secretary of Energy Steven Chu is reportedly “widely expected to step down” but has not announced his plans.

 

President Obama’s Secretary of Commerce, John Bryson, resigned from his position after reportedly suffering a seizure and hitting two cars while driving in California. Rebecca Blank has been the acting secretary since Bryson stepped down.
