No that wasn't my question. I understand the difference between a qualified and unqualified candidate. What am I asking is what's the difference between hiring and appointing? Who's doing the promoting? And how is that any different than being appointed?
Congress has to approve the appointed cabinet. The FBI promotes employees. The FBI has no choice in the person running their entire organization, they were never an employee there.
Yes. Well aware. But the question I asked? You said the head of the FBI should never be appointed and we should only hire qualified individuals. Then I asked what's the difference between an appointment and a hiring, also who does the hiring? Remember?
