Acosta's resignation means Labor secretary added to list of Trump posts with 'acting' leaders

WASHINGTON – A temporary gig isn’t necessarily temporary in President Donald Trump’s administration.

Staff departures or internal shakeups have left more than a dozen federal departments or agencies operating with temporary, or “acting,” heads instead of a permanent leader. Two of the acting heads have been in their role for more than a year.

The latest addition to Trump's band of temporary leaders is Pat Pizzella, whom Trump named as acting Labor Secretary on Friday after Alex Acosta announced his resignation.

Trump seems in no hurry to replace some of his “acting” leaders.

“I like acting,” he told reporters in January, saying the temporary positions give him more flexibility.

For "acting" Cabinet positions. But only if Mitch does something about it.

As if.
