“The July 8 editorial on the extreme number of vacancies in positions that require Senate confirmation, “Mr. Trump’s ‘acting’ government,” was a welcome indication of how badly he is flouting norms that have served our nation.

Unconfirmed “acting” officials at least have received a temporary appointment, which can last for 210 days under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.”
