>> i was born in edinburgh. i was educated in edinburgh. and i do not know nor why i decided to apply for a post in the house of commons. now, the way of getting a post was to sit the normal civil service examination and then to be vetted -- not so much whether your face fitted, but whether your mind fitted -- by the heads of the department. so, i went along -- having passed the civil service exam -- went along to a nomination interview. and it was the most agreeable event i can remember. for most of the time we spoke about the prospects for the next rugby season. and then someone said, "this is supposed to be a nomination interview." so, i was nominated, and spent 41 years -- very similar to charlie's -- ended up as clerk of the house, which is a nomination by the crown on the recommendation of the prime minister, who's advised by the speaker. >> let me ask you a simple question that americans know about. if somebody's going to become the secretary of defense or the secretary of state, they have to be confirmed by the senate. what happens
