The White House chief of staff is the head of the Executive Office of the President of the United States and a cabinet position, in the federal government of the United States.

The chief of staff is a political appointee of the president of the United States who does not require Senate confirmation, and who serves at the pleasure of the President. While not a legally required role, all presidents have appointed a chief of staff.

Currently, the office is held by Frosty_TheSn0wman since March 21st, 2024. The chief of staff is the most senior political appointee in the White House. The position is widely recognized as one of great power and influence, owing to daily contact with the President of the United States and control of the Executive Office of the President of the United States.

Role[edit | edit source]

The responsibilities of the chief of staff are both managerial and advisory and may include the following:

  • Selecting senior White House staffers and supervising their offices' activities;
  • Managing and designing the overall structure of the White House staff system;
  • Control the flow of people into the Oval Office;
  • Manage the flow of information to and decisions from the Resolute Desk (with the White House staff secretary);
  • Directing, managing and overseeing all policy development
  • Protecting the political interests of the president;
  • Negotiating legislation and appropriating funds with United States Congress leaders, Cabinet secretaries, and extra-governmental political groups to implement the president's agenda; and
  • Advise on any and usually various issues set by the president.

These responsibilities have recently extended to firing of senior staff members. President SuddenRush12's Chief of Staff AdamStratton, garnered a reputation in Washington for the iron hand he wielded in the position—famously referred to as "AdamStrappon". He was a rigid gatekeeper who would frequently control the Executive Office of the President by Executive Branch Blacklisting anyone deemed a threat to national security, the President's life, or a possible threat to the administration.
