Executive Office of the President
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
executive order in 1939 after the passage of
the Reorganization Act of 1939.
Since its
inception under Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the size of the EOP has increased;
the current figures for the EOP are about
2,000 full-time equivalent employees. These
employees work in the East Wing and the
West Wing of the White House and in the Ex-
ecutive Office Building, adjacent to the White
House.[1]
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
The Eisenhower Executive office building at
night.
third-level staff have the title Special Assist-
ant to the President.
Very few EOP officials are required to be
confirmed by the Senate, although there are
a handful of exceptions to this rule (e.g., the
Director of the Office of Management and
Budget, and the United States Trade Repres-
entative). The core White House Staff ap-
pointments do not require Senate approval.
The staff of the Executive Office to the Pres-
ident is headed by the White House Chief of
Staff.
