others are not. He is exempt in compliance with the law. Those who are exempt:

(i) an employee paid from an appropriation for the Executive Office of the President; or

(ii) an employee appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, whose position is located within the United States, who determines policies to be pursued by the United States in the nationwide administration of Federal laws.

The FBI director fits into item 2.


Thank you to all of our American heroes, past & present, of the USMC, Army, AF, Navy, & Coast Guard.
