Wilbur Ross is on the short list. Pretty much a self-made billionaire. Good choice. Has a little dirt, (they) blame him for that WV coal mine incident that killed 12. Catholic so he probably confessed it away so he's good to go.
Current one is a born into billions billionaire from... you guessed it... Chicago. Penny Sue Pritzker. Certainly accomplished though.
You know what's interesting though, as I was digging through Wikipedia .... Obama has had 8...count em... not a typo... 8 different Commerce Secretaries. No wonder things are so f'd up. Thats one per year. How can anyone get anything done like that.
