Unreferenced date December 2009 In law, when someone is said to be acting in a position it can mean one of three things. The position has not yet been formally created. The person is only occupying the position temporarily, to ensure continuity. The person does not have a Mandate politics mandate . The term acting is often used in one of these senses to refer to a temporary occupant of an office in government. An acting official holds office to ensure both the stability and continuity of his department will continue despite the absence of a formal leader. For example, if the United States Secretary of State died suddenly in office, the United States Deputy Secretary of State would take over. However, he would only be acting in the position, as he she will not formally hold the office unless he she is nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate , as required by the Constitution. Acting officials almost always do very little while in office, as it is usually considered improper for someone to exercise full authority when they have inherited their office by accident, as opposed to being specifically hired or elected to it. Acting for has the same basic meaning as acting , except it indicates that the original occupant of the position still formally holds power. For example, in 2006 when Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had a severe stroke, Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert assumed power on the basis that he was acting for the incapacitated Sharon. Sharon was still formally the nation s leader, as he had not died or resigned, but Olmert was executing the powers of the office.

Unreferenced date August 2009 Mergeto Mayor date October 2009 Acting Mayor is a temporary office created by the charter of some municipal governments. In many cities and towns, the charter or some similar fundamental document provides that in the event of the death, resignation, or removal from office of the mayor, another official will lead the municipality for a temporary period, which, depending on the jurisdiction, may be for a stated period of days or months until a special election can be held, or until the original end of the term to which the vacating mayor was elected. The charter may also provide for an acting mayor to serve in the event that the incumbent mayor is determined to be too disabled to continue to perform the duties of the office, either for a temporary period or permanently. The position of acting mayor is usually of considerably more importance in a mayor council form of municipal government, where the mayor performs functions of day to day leadership, than it is in a council manager form of government, where the city manager provides day to day leadership and the position of mayor is either a largely or entirely ceremonial one.
