Chief of staff (politics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In politics, a chief of staff is the primary aide to a political leader or position. One who is a chief of staff is usually appointed directly by the officeholder he or she serves, and in cases like the White House Chief of Staff, do not require legislative confirmation. Likewise, the chief of staff may be dismissed at any time.
