who appoints members of state agencies with the consent of the senate?
president of the united states
as head of the executive branch, the president appoints the top officials for nearly all federal agencies. these positions are listed in the plum book which outlines more than seven thousand appointive positions in the government. many of these appointments are made by the president. in the case of ten agencies, the president is free to appoint a new agency head. for example, it is not unusual for the cia's director or nasa's administrator to be changed by the president. other agencies that deal with federal regulation such as the federal reserve board or the securities and exchange commission have set terms that will often outlast presidential terms. for example, governors of the federal reserve serve for fourteen years to ensure agency independence. the president also appoints members to the boards of directors for government-owned corporations such as amtrak. the president can also make a recess appointment if a position needs to be filled while congress is not in session.
