President Barack Obama was hit Tuesday by another embarrassing withdrawal of one of his Cabinet nominees.

Here is a look at the status of the nominees for his 15-member Cabinet:

—Obama needs to nominate a Health and Human Services secretary and someone to oversee the healthcare system. Former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle withdrew his name Tuesday amid questions over tax errors which caused him to pay $140,000 in back taxes.

—After his first pick for commerce secretary, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, withdrew in the face of a legal inquiry, Obama spent nearly a month making a new choice. He nominated Republican Senator Judd Gregg, a well respected lawmaker and accomplished negotiator, Feb. 3. Gregg still faces a committee hearing and Senate confirmation.
