According to Wikipedia,


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_reshuffle

For instance, in the United States, it would be very unusual for a president to reassign multiple cabinet secretaries to new positions, especially since a United States Cabinet member moved to a new position within the cabinet needs to be confirmed in the new role by the United States Senate—this alone is seen as a powerful deterrent against U.S. presidents initiating major cabinet reshuffles.

Richardson had to be confirmed when he went from UN Ambassador to Secretary of Energy. Also Frederico Pena from Secretary of Transportation to Secretary of Energy.

Mike Leavitt when he went from EPA Administrator to Secretary of HHS and had a confirmation hearing

Hodel went from Secretary of Energy to Interior and had a confirmation hearing.

And it would not surprise me at all if Mueller has a doomsday bomb primed and ready to detonate should that happen.
