- Chief of staff (politics)
In politics, a chief of staff is the primary aide to a political leader or position. The post is called "chef de cabinet" (French: "chief of cabinet") in the context of directorates-general of the European Commission. 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, does not require legislative confirmation. Likewise, the chief of staff may be dismissed at any time.
