Love dat Ric Grenell. He's so much better than Ratcliffe, IMO. Didn't understand why Trump didn't make Grenell perm. Same for Mr. Clean (Matt Whitaker). These "Acting" winners didn't land the perm spots - don't know why. Really love both of those guys. Their replacements, not so much.
When appointed as a permanent official, they can’t began serving until approved by the Senate which takes a long time and in no way is a sure thing. As “acting” appointees they can start serving immediately.
I wonder if they can make an acting appointee into a permanent one, thereby serving in the position while waiting for senate approval to become permanent.

Over the target
I wonder if they can make an acting appointee into a permanent one, thereby serving in the position while waiting for senate approval to become permanent.
Maybe they didn't want permanent positions? Maybe they were doing more than what we could see?
Scaramuci model?
They are the "Scaramuccis," come in, take out the untouchables, draw the fire and get out. A valuable employee in any business which needs a shakeup.
Because they have to be approved by Mitch McConnell to get the position permanently.
Ahhhhh, very good point!
