Question: When did the majority party in the body which approves members of the American Cabinet gain control of the House?

in the united kingdom, parliament consists of the house of commons, the house of lords, and the monarch. the house of commons is composed of 650 (soon to be 600) members who are directly elected by british citizens to represent single - member constituencies. the leader of a party that wins more than half the seats, or less than half but is able to gain the support of smaller parties to achieve a majority in the house is invited by the monarch to form a government. the house of lords is a body of long - serving, unelected members: lords temporal - 92 of whom inherit their titles (and of whom 90 are elected internally by members of the house to lifetime seats), 588 of whom have been appointed to lifetime seats, and lords spiritual - 26 bishops, who are part of the house while they remain in office. <SEP> The heads of the executive departments and all other federal agency heads are nominated by the President and then presented to the Senate for confirmation or rejection by a simple majority (although before the use of the ``nuclear option ''during the 113th US Congress, they could have been blocked by filibuster, requiring cloture to be invoked by ​ ⁄ supermajority to further consideration). If approved, they receive their commission scroll, are sworn in and then begin their duties. <SEP> Republicans regained control of the chamber they had lost in the 2006 midterm elections, picking up a net total of 63 seats and erasing the gains Democrats made in 2006 and 2008. Although the sitting U.S. President's party usually loses seats in a midterm election, the 2010 election resulted in the highest loss of a party in a House midterm election since 1938, and the largest House swing since 1948. This also happened to be the Republicans' largest gain in House seats since 1938. Republicans gained the most in New York state where they picked up six seats, defeating five incumbents and winning an open Democratic district. The heavy Democratic Party losses were attributed to anger with President Obama, opposition to the Affordable Care Act, large budget deficits and the weak economy. This was also the third consecutive midterm election in a president's first term where the Republican Party has made gains in the House of Representatives, as well as the second consecutive midterm election where party control of the said chamber changed hands. Notable freshmen included future Senators Cory Gardner, Todd Young, James Lankford, and Tim Scott, future Governor of Delaware John Carney, future Director of the Office of Management and Budget Mick Mulvaney, future Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, future Lieutenant Governor of Arkansas Tim Griffin, and future Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. <SEP> The Senate is currently composed of 51 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and 2 independents, both of whom caucus with the Democrats. <SEP> legislative power lies with the nitijela. the upper house of parliament, called the council of iroij, is an advisory body comprising twelve tribal chiefs. the executive branch consists of the president and the presidential cabinet, which consists of ten ministers appointed by the president with the approval of the nitijela. the twenty-four electoral districts into which the country is divided correspond to the inhabited islands and atolls. there are currently four political parties in the marshall islands: aelon̄ kein ad (aka), united people's party (upp), kien eo am (kea) and united democratic party (udp). rule is shared by the aka and the udp. the following senators are in the legislative body:
