  > Can they just get people on the Acting title and not worry about senate confirmation? No. The people who get "Acting" titles only have a lifespan of a couple months AND they need to be existing members of the bureaucracy who are 1 level below the senate appointed role. The US is not a parliamentary system like India, UK, Canada, or Australia where the executive has power over cabinet nomination. The US's system was explicitly built so that the president is hemmed in this manner.
