president of the united states
as head of the executive branch, the president appoints the top officials for nearly all federal agencies. these positions are listed in the plum book which outlines more than seven thousand appointive positions in the government. many of these appointments are made by the president. in the case of ten agencies, the president is free to appoint a new agency head. for example, it is not unusual for the cia's director or nasa's administrator to be changed by the president. other agencies that deal with federal regulation such as the federal reserve board or the securities and exchange commission have set terms that will often outlast presidential terms. for example, governors of the federal reserve serve for fourteen years to ensure agency independence. the president also appoints members to the boards of directors for government-owned corporations such as amtrak. the president can also make a recess appointment if a position needs to be filled while congress is not in session.

the monarch is the "fount of honour", the source of all honours and dignities in the united kingdom. the crown creates all peerages, appoints members of the orders of chivalry, grants knighthoods and awards other honours. although peerages and most other honours are granted on the advice of the prime minister, some honours are within the personal gift of the sovereign, and are not granted on ministerial advice. the monarch alone appoints members of the order of the garter, the order of the thistle, the royal victorian order and the order of merit.
