- 5 years ago
President Donald Trump said Sunday he's not rushing to find permanent replacements for the one-quarter of his Cabinet that currently serves in an acting capacity. Reuters reports Trump told reporters, “I like acting. It gives me more flexibility. Do you understand that? I like acting. So we have a few that are acting. We have a great, great Cabinet." Six of the 24 Cabinet-level positions are currently filled by individuals serving in an acting capacity after the departure of other members.
