Who will be the Deputy and undersecretaries working for these appointments? It is for 4 years ONLY, and then who hires you. Now if you can steal in the position maybe. Finally, trump goes through appointees like toilet paper, who is their replacement? This lineup can change DC and the exec. branch

So it has taken a bit longer than promised but the Oxford Illustrated History of the United States is about to go into production! Watch this space for pub date and possible (shameless) semiquincentennial branding. And massive thanks to the stellar contributors who have been incredible to work with
