President Trump announced more than three dozen appointments Friday night for key administration positions.

The president intends to nominate Richard Grenell to serve as the next U.S. ambassador to Germany. Grenell served in former President George W. Bush’s administration as a spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations.

“For nearly two decades, he has served as the primary communications adviser for public officials at the local, state, Federal, and international levels, as well as for a Fortune 200 ranked company,” the White House statement said. “Mr. Grenell is the longest serving United States spokesman at the United Nations (2001-2008) having served four United States Ambassadors.”

Rep. Tom Marino was also chosen to lead the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Marino, a former county prosecutor, worked to help expand access to treatment for people with opioid addiction. Marino’s nomination will lead to a special election in Pennsylvania.

The president also tapped Oklahoma Rep. Jim Bridenstine to head NASA, which is already causing controversy on both sides of the political aisle. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio and Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, both of Florida, say a politician should not have the lead role in the country’s space program.

“I just think it could be devastating for the space program. Obviously, being from Florida, I’m very sensitive to anything that slows up NASA and its mission,” Rubio told POLITICO.

“It’s the one federal mission which has largely been free of politics and it’s at a critical juncture in its history,” he added. “I would hate to see an administrator held up -- on [grounds of] partisanship, political arguments, past votes, or statements made in the past -- because the agency can’t afford it and it can’t afford the controversy.”

Nelson told Politico much the same: “The head of NASA ought to be a space professional, not a politician.”

His nomination will also lead to a special election in Oklahoma.

Additionally, the president nominated Robert Jackson, a Columbia University law professor, for a vacant seat on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to the White House’s press release, the rest of the list includes:
