If Neera Tanden can't be named "acting director" why not name someone

[elevator]

as Director, who agrees privately to hire her as their second in command and allow her to make the decisions for the office? I'm sure someone could be found that could be confirmed that would be happy to take the position and salary and
"work" closely with Neera. Would Neera decline such a tacit agreement?

1. if Simena will vote for her all we need is one republican

...not seeing the value in cutting and running right away from this hypocritical smear.

2. Taxpayers could object to paying two people for one job. I agree

with those who say tackle this head on. Call out the hypocrisy repeatedly.

5. There is someone ho is being paid as second in command already.

It would not be a new position. If they really want Neera's imput, this is a way to do it.

3. Yesterday...

CoS Ron Klain said that if she wasn't confirmed, they would find her a position that didn't require Senate approval. I don't think they want to use any of the previous regime's tactics.

4. Biden likes to do things the right way.

6. There is nothing unethical or wrong about my suggestion.

Would Tanden accept...I don't know, but it is a reasonable tactic.
