Gourt Home::Gourt :: Executive Office of the President of the United States
The Executive Office of the President (EOP) consists of the immediate staff of the President of the United States, as well as multiple levels of support staff reporting to the President. The EOP was established by the United States Congress in 1939 after the Brownlow Committee recommended that such a support staff for the President be created.
Since its inception under Franklin Roosevelt, the size and influence of the EOP has increased. The current figures for the EOP are about 1,800 full-time equivalent employees.
Organization
Senior staff within the Executive Office of the President have the title "Assistant to the President." Second-level staff have the title "Deputy Assistant to the President," and third-level staff have the title "Special Assistant to the President." Very few are required to be confirmed by the Senate, although there are a handful of exceptions to this rule. (OMB Director, USTR etc.) However, the core White House Staff do not require approval.
