The head of the FBI, or any other Federal intelligence agency, should NEVER be an appointed position. Only qualified candidates should be hired to run these agencies. Politics needs to be reigned in so the trashing of the country can't occur. 249 years and this has never been fixed. What a bloody joke.

I get you, but I can also see it being both?

THEORY an appointed position but part of the confirmation is actually verifying their credentials

Isn't that was the senate approval is supposed to be?
