Political Appointee Tracker

Presidents are required to fill roughly 4,000 politically appointed government positions, including more than 1,200 jobs that require Senate confirmation. Despite the importance of these jobs, there is no up-to-date source of information about who holds these positions, which jobs are vacant or the status of Senate confirmations.

Effective presidential transitions can earn the public’s trust
Almost half of Americans are unsure a 2024 transition would be peaceful

只有在公众相信相关人员会尊重民主选举的结果,并重视新政府在上任前就做好执政准备的必要性的情况下,总统的过渡才能有效. 美国总统权力交接中心(Center for Presidential Transition®)进行了一项具有全国代表性的调查,以了解美国人对总统权力交接习俗的看法. The survey found that 56% of Americans agreed a peaceful transition would take place if a different c和idate wins in 2024. By contrast, 44% of Americans did not think a transfer would be peaceful or were unsure. The public’s doubt should serve as both a call to action 和 an opportunity. 政府领导人和中心这样的组织必须支持公众理解和平过渡作为我们民主的一个关键功能的重要性.
