  • United States presidents typically fill their Cabinets and other appointive positions with people from their own political party. The first Cabinet formed by the first president, George Washington, included some of Washington's political opponents, but later presidents adopted the practice of filling their Cabinets with members of the president's party. Appointments across party lines are uncommon. Presidents may appoint members of a different party to high-level positions in order to reduce partisanship or improve cooperation between the political parties. Also presidents often appoint members of a different party because they need Senate confirmation for many of these positions, and at the time of appointment the Senate was controlled by the opposition party of the president. Many of the cross-partisan nominees are often moderates within their own parties. This is a list of people appointed to high-level positions in the United States federal government by a president whose political party affiliation was different from that of the appointee. The list includes executive branch appointees and independent agency appointees. Independent or nonpartisan appointees, nominally apolitical appointments (such as Article III judges and military officers), and members of explicitly bipartisan commissions are not included. A third party member has never been appointed. (en)
  • 美国总统通常在内阁及其他职位上任命与自己相同政党的人物。第一任总统乔治·华盛顿组建的内阁中曾包括一些他的政敌，自此之后的总统基本都在内阁中任命自己政党的成员。 跨党派的任命并不常见，不过总统有时会因为要减少被认为有党派偏见的可能或增强跨党派合作等理由而作出这样的任命。 本列表便包括了这样一些人，他们被美国总统任命为美国联邦政府中的高级职位，但他们的党籍与总统不同。列表中人物的职位只限于美国政府的行政分支与独立机构，独立或无党派政治人物、非政治任命（如、军事官员等）或两党委员会成员并不包括在内。 (zh)
