Answer (1)

The White House Chief of Staff is the only position listed that does not require Senate approval, as it is directly appointed by the President. In contrast, U.S. Supreme Court Justices, the Head of the CIA, and the Head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau all require Senate confirmation. Understanding which positions need Senate approval is essential for grasping the U.S. political structure. ;
