Three Cabinet secretaries to stay -- Salazar still an unknown

Thursday, January 10, 2013  

Three Cabinet secretaries are expected to stay for second term of President Barack Obama but Interior Secretary Ken Salazar remains an unknown.

Obama has enjoyed a relatively stable Cabinet since taking office in January 2009. Secretary Kathleen Sebelius of the Health and Human Services Department, Attorney General Eric Holder of the Department of Justice and Secretary Kyle Shinseki of the Department of Veterans Affairs are among those staying on board.

Salazar, who runs the Interior Department, hasn't said whether he will stay or go. The heads of the Labor, Defense and Treasury departments are among those who are leaving.
