Beginning in 2019, multiple appointments of acting officials in the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) were questioned, on the basis of whether the appointments were legal under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 and the Homeland Security Act of 2002. After the departure of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in April 2019, the Trump Administration did not formally nominate a new secretary to be confirmed by the Senate, relying on acting postings.

| - Beginning in 2019, multiple appointments of acting officials in the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) were questioned, on the basis of whether the appointments were legal under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 and the Homeland Security Act of 2002. After the departure of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in April 2019, the Trump Administration did not formally nominate a new secretary to be confirmed by the Senate, relying on acting postings. The disputed appointments were those of Kevin McAleenan and Chad Wolf as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, and Ken Cuccinelli as Senior Official Performing the Duties of both the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The dispute on the Secretary and Deputy Secretary appointments centered on the fact that the issued text of an amendment to the order of succession deviated from the intention of then-Secretary Nielsen, placing a different person than expected next in line. The dispute on the USCIS appointment centered on whether a newly created Principal Deputy Director position was validly the "first assistant" to the Director under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. On March 1, 2020, the District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that Cuccinelli was not lawfully appointed to serve as acting USCIS Director and invalidated certain actions taken by him; the government dropped its appeal of this case in August 2020. On August 14, 2020, the Government Accountability Office released a finding that McAleenan, Wolf, and Cuccinelli had been appointed improperly to their Acting Secretary and Deputy Secretary positions; the DHS rejected this finding. On November 14, 2020, the District Court for the Eastern District of New York ruled that Wolf was not lawfully serving as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security and overturned a set of his orders as lacking "legal authority". Wolf resigned his post on January 11, 2021, after a number of similar court rulings. (en)
- Las disputas de nombramientos del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de los Estados Unidos de 2019-2020 se refieren a los cuestionamientos sobre la legalidad de múltiples nombramientos de funcionarios interinos en el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de los Estados Unidos (DHS por sus siglas en inglés), sobre la base de si los nombramientos eran legales bajo la Ley Federal de Reforma de Vacantes de 1998 y la Ley de Seguridad Nacional de 2002. Los nombramientos en disputa fueron los de Kevin McAleenan y como secretario de Seguridad Nacional interino, y como «alto funcionario en desempeño de funciones» tanto del subsecretario de Seguridad Nacional como del director del Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS por sus siglas en inglés). La disputa sobre los nombramientos de secretario y subsecretario se centró en el hecho de que el texto emitido de una enmienda al orden de sucesión se desvió de la intención de la entonces secretaria de Seguridad Nacional Kirstjen Nielsen, colocando a una persona diferente a la esperada como siguiente en la línea de sucesión. La disputa sobre el nombramiento de USCIS se centró en si un puesto de Director Adjunto Principal recién creado era válidamente el «primer asistente» del Director bajo la Ley Federal de Reforma de Vacantes. El 1 de marzo de 2020, el Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos para el Distrito de Columbia dictaminó que Cuccinelli no fue designado legalmente para servir como director interino del USCIS e invalidó ciertas acciones tomadas por él; el gobierno retiró su apelación de este caso en agosto de 2020. El 14 de agosto de 2020, la Oficina de Responsabilidad del Gobierno publicó un hallazgo de que McAleenan, Wolf y Cuccinelli habían sido nombrados incorrectamente para sus cargos de secretario interino para los dos primeros y subsecretario para el último; el DHS rechazó este hallazgo.
