Enough of the endless "Acting Director..." titles

that are just to avoid going through confirmation. There should be a time limit on being an acting director of National Intelligence and every other cabinet job. We need a law or rule to fix this.

Their position means nothing without Senate confirmation...as required by the fucking Constitution!!!!!
