Basically this is the American Minister of Information right? Or in other words, the President's Liar in Chief? Greg Grahame (talk) 20:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Acting by designation[edit]

Is it common practice to include ever official who has been acting Under Secretary (by designation), or are those details not pertinent to these lists? I see a bunch of gaps in dates on this list, so I am leaning to expect the former, but I am struggling to see what the precedent is. What exactly is the distinction between "acting by designation" and "acting" - I would assume that Congress doesn't approve "acting" but only the title itself, so I'm not clear on the separation here. Any guidance would be appreciated. --Engineerchange (talk) 09:45, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
