Resolves to “Trump not elected President” if Trump not elected President, otherwise to name of individual appointee. If Trump ceases being President for any reason, will be the successor President(s) within same presidential term.
Update 2025-12-15 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The market will resolve to a confirmed appointee in the Director role, not an Acting director or someone serving under a Presidential Delegated Duty (PDD). Acting directors do not qualify for resolution.
1,000@Dave K Matt Giacona should resolve YES because he is a political selection by the President, not a career 'acting' official.
The market asks for the 'first appointee' to lead. While some 'acting' directors are career civil servants filling a gap, Giacona was explicitly chosen by the incoming administration to run the agency.
As confirmed by the Society of Environmental Journalists: 'In March of this year, the Trump administration selected Matt Giacona for a top job at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management...'
He was installed on March 24, 2025, specifically as a Political Appointee (as cited in House Committee oversight letters) to bypass confirmation delays.
Because he was the first person selected by the Trump administration to exercise the authority of the Director, and has done so since March, he satisfies the condition of the question.

@Lobstertronic website says he's Acting, not confirmed, and by my intent of this I want a confirmed appointee in the role itself, not a PDD that's Acting. Sorry. https://www.boem.gov/about-boem/boem-leadership/matthew-giacona
