Rubio Says Farewell to Acting U.S. Archivist


Marco Rubio is Out of a Job, as the Acting U.S. Archivist, which is easy to Overlook given that He has, at various times, held many Jobs, at the same time. His days were literally Numbered, as Acting Positions Expire by Law after 300 days.

Trump (R) doesn’t really want Anyone Heading the National Archives. After taking Office, He Quickly and Arbitrarily Fired the Archivist, Colleen Shogan (D). Shogun was inevitably going to be in Trump’s Crosshairs. because Trump remains Furious that the National Archives and Records Administration, tried to tell Him He couldn’t just Steal Classified Documents and Stash them in Mar-a-Lago.

Trump hasn’t Nominated Anyone to be the Archivist, nor is there a Deputy Archivist. If there were a Deputy, that Person would likely be a Career Employee and would Automatically become Acting Archivist upon a Vacancy.

Rubio isn't the Only Administration Officials Doubling and Tripling up on Jobs. Scott Bessent (R) is both the Treasury Secretary and the Acting IRS Commissioner.

Frank Bisignano (R), the Head of the Social Security Administration (SSA), is also “Chief Executive Officer” of the IRS, which was Not a Thing until Trump made it up.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy (R) was Running NASA for a time.

All of this doesn’t just Show that Trump wants His Cronies in Jobs, without putting them through a Confirmation Process.

It also shows His Deep Disregard for the Actual Work of Government, turning Major Positions into Afterthoughts. This is No way to Run a Government.
