The secretary later was found “alone and unconscious behind the wheel of
his vehicle,” said officials.
Neither alcohol nor drugs were suspected as being factors in the accidents,
and no one was injured, but the 68-year-old took a medical leave of absence
afterward.
According to the US National Institutes for Health seizures can be cause by a
broad range of health problems from high glucose levels to meningitis to
heart disease.
Mr Bryson’s staff have said he had no history of seizures, although the Los
Angeles Times reported that in the days leading up to the incidents he had
spoken at his daughters’ school and had sometimes appeared to ramble and
repeat himself.
Mr Bryson told staff early Thursday he would be replaced – at least
temporarily – by current deputy Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank, who has
served in his place since he went on leave.
He had been tapped for the cabinet post last year after predecessor Gary Locke
became ambassador to China.
His candidature was seen as an attempt by Obama to mend ties with business and
to get the US economy back on track.
It won overwhelming cross-party support, passing the Senate in a 74 to 26 vote
in favour, thanks to his business acumen, which had led him to stints on the
boards of Boeing and Walt Disney.
Mr Bryson described his department’s main role as being “to help
America’s entrepreneurs and businesses build our economy and create jobs.”
In a statement Thursday, Obama praised Bryson’s work.
“I want to extend my deepest thanks and appreciation to John for his
service over the past months, and wish him and his family the very best,”
the president said in a statement.
“As secretary, John fought tirelessly for our nation’s businesses and
workers, helping to bolster our exports and promote American manufacturing
and products at home and abroad.”
The two men later met in the Oval Office, with Bryson looking cheerful and
healthy.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, urged the quick appointment of a
replacement.
“That’s a very unfortunate thing that Secretary Bryson got sick,”
Mr Reid told reporters.
“I would hope that the president could get a consensus nominee forward
and we could get it done,” he added.
“The Commerce Department is important and shouldn’t be without someone
leading that important agency.”
