Here’s why. According to the Vacancies Reform Act, if a vacancy occurs in a Senate-confirmed position, the president can temporarily replace that appointee (such as the F.B.I. director) only with a person who has already received Senate confirmation or with a person who’s served in a senior capacity in the agency (at the GS-15 pay scale) for at least 90 days in the year before the resignation.

Cool, thanks for that info. Hmm, can the same be done for all the other Senate confirmed positions, to stymie the appointments of Gabbard, Hegseth, RFK Jr., etc?
