The Constitutional provision applies to all positions, not just the Cabinet.
In this instance, McConnell consented by not objecting. Imagine what would have happened if, say, Mike Lindell had been granted the same special status conferred to Kushner. McConnell would have clearly objected to that.
To which constitutional provision are you referring? Are you talking about the appointment of officers of the United States? Because I don't think Kushner ever was officially an officer of the United States.
By being grafted into the highest echelons of the Executive Branch, Kushner was demonstrably a "Minister or Consul".
Bear in mind that, Constitutionally, Congress has all the power.
That doesn't make him an officer of the US, and doesn't automatically make him confirmed by the senate or anything like that.
When were Kushner's confirmation hearings?
