Southwest General decision held that the Vacancies Act prevents a person who has been nominated by the President to fill a vacant Senate-confirmed position 'from performing the duties of that office in an acting capacity.' Dr. Dourson is a Senior Advisor to the Administrator and is not 'performing the duties' of the AA for OCSPP, which is what occurred in previous administrations."
