The President of the United States issued a memorandum establishing the order of succession for the position of Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality. If the Chairman cannot perform their duties, the roles will be filled in this order: Chief of Staff, General Counsel, Deputy General Counsels (in the order they were appointed), Senior Directors (also in their appointment order), and the Associate Director for the National Environmental Policy Act. However, individuals serving in these roles temporarily cannot act as Chairman based on this memorandum. The President retains the right to change the order if needed, and a previous memorandum from September 6, 2019, regarding succession is revoked by this document.
Simple Explanation
The President made a plan for who takes charge if the main leader of a group that helps take care of the environment can't do their job. First, the Chief of Staff steps in, followed by others in a special lineup. The President can change the order if needed.
