What happens in a U.S. Federal agency after a presidential transition, but before its Cabinet secretary is confirmed?
Can you explain to me what happens in a U.S. Federal agency after a presidential transition, but before its Cabinet secretary is confirmed?
Certainly. After a presidential transition, interim officials are usually appointed to lead federal agencies until the Cabinet secretary is confirmed by the Senate. These interim officials are typically career civil servants or senior officials from the outgoing administration.
