Bernard Kerik was originally nominated for Secretary of Homeland Security on December 3, 2004. However a week later on December 10, 2004, he withdrew his nomination, after several issues and allegations arose including his employing an illegal immigrant, extramarital affairs, ties to the mafia and other indiscretions.

Michael Chertoff was nominated on January 11, 2005 and subsequently confirmed on February 15, 2005.
