| | White House Chief of Staff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The duties of the White House Chief of Staff can vary greatly from administration to administration, but generally he (and all have been male, to date) is responsible for overseeing the actions of other members of White House staff, managing the president's timetable, and controlling outsiders' access to the president. |
 | | By contrast, Andrew Card, the current Chief of Staff in the administration of President George W. Bush, is not regarded as a very powerful figure, in large part because Bush appears to deal directly with his Cabinet secretaries. |
 | | Similarly, President Clinton's Chiefs of Staff were not particularly powerful under his watch, because Clinton's workaholic personality kept him in constant touch with the government. |
