“I sort of like ‘acting.’ It gives me more flexibility.” The number of acting heads produces a lack of leadership stability at agencies that enforce critical parts of Trump’s agenda.

WASHINGTON—Five of the nation’s 10 largest federal law-enforcement agencies are currently operating with only interim heads amid an unprecedented long-term leadership vacuum that even some of the president’s congressional allies say is untenable.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives , the Drug Enforcement Administration , Immigration and Customs Enforcement , U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Federal Bureau of Prisons all lack permanent heads.

President Trump always seems to get the job done regardless of the roadblocks being constantly thrown up by the dem libtards

Maybe Democrats in the Senate should stop resisting every nominee and delaying vote after vote. If someone's not qualified, that's fine, but it's just being done to thwart Trump because he won. It's childish

Just another way to avoid jail?

A smaller more efficient government. TYDT

Well, this fraud has been acting as President for 2 years and acting as a businessman for 40 years

Wonder why DJT seeks instability and flexibility when it comes to federal legal institutions

It is obvious that Trump wants only transient employees. His behaviour suggests he doesn't want any of his administration to have opposing views. Thus not filling the roles unless they are subservient.

The sad thing is that we’re probably better off with the deputy directors running things, they’re typically the ones that have the technical knowledge in their field, the directors are typically just political appointments with no, or if any, bias related experience

Executive appointments - acting or permanent- are at the pleasure of the executive. No difference
