1. There are 93 USA positions at any one time. Best quote is here:

" Of those who left, 77 were appointed by President
Clinton but resigned in 2001, so CRS treated those departures as a product of normal
turnover in positions requiring Senate confirmation where the appointees of a departing
President leave to allow the incoming President to fill those positions."
