Key facts about Bush's U.N. nominee Bolton
- In the post, Bolton advocated a hard line against Iran, North Korea and other states feared by Washington to be developing nuclear weapons. He also led U.S. efforts to enlist more than 60 nations in a program to interdict illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction.

- Democrats have focused their opposition to Bolton's nomination by complaining about his management style. They complain he has tried to coerce intelligence analysts to conform to his hard-line views, had a chilling effect over the intelligence community and bullied subordinates.

- Bolton, who has vowed to improve U.N. accountability and push reforms to eliminate overlapping programs and mandates, is a longtime critic of the United Nations. "The (U.N.) Secretariat building in New York has 38 stories. If it lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference," he said in 1994.

- He is a favorite of U.S. conservatives, a key Bush support base. Before taking his current post, he was a senior vice president of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative Washington think tank.
