That will be pretty painful for Geithner, considering he was planning to exit his role as Treasury Secretary as soon as this latest round of debt ceiling debates had concluded.
Geithner also may have to deal with another round of debt-ceiling debates because the deal as is requires 12 lawmakers to propose deficit reduction measures this fall.
If confirmed, he's likely to cross swords again with GOP leaders in a new round of budget and debt-ceiling talks that were already likely to be contentious.
