In fact, it's kind of crazy that OMB director needs Senate approval at all. The National Security Adviser is not Senate-approved. The White House chief of staff is not Senate-approved. Why OMB, which is just as much under direct presidential purview as those other two? 4/x — PolitiTweet.org

And if Congress doesn't like what it's hearing from an OMB director, guess what? Congress has its own in-house functional equivalent, director of the Congressional Budget Office. 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

Budgeting is in inherently partisan exercise. OMB directors are almost always partisan figures. Think of Richard Darman, Alice Rivlin, Mitch Daniels, Rob Portman, and Jack Lew - partisans all. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org
