Political appointments in the United States

According to the United States Office of Government Ethics, a political appointee is “every full-time, non-career Presidential or Vice-Presidential appointee, non-career appointee in the Senior Executive Service, and appointee to a position that has been excepted from the competitive service by reason of being of a confidential or policymaking character in an executive agency.” However, “[i]t does not include any person appointed as a member of the Senior Foreign Service or solely as a uniformed service commissioned officer.”. As of 2016, there were around 4,000 political appointment positions which an incoming administration needs to review, and fill or confirm, of which about 1,200 require Senate confirmation. The White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO) is one of the offices most responsible for political appointees and for assessing candidates to work at or for the White House.
