History

[edit]

In the immediate aftermath of theSeptember 11 attacks, PresidentGeorge W. Bush announced the creation of the interim Office of Homeland Security as acabinet-level office in a speech to ajoint session of Congress.^[1] He appointedTom Ridge as its first director. The Homeland Security Council was formally created on October 5, 2001, replacing the Office of Homeland Security.

Under the George W. Bush administration, the homeland security advisor was independent of theNational Security Council, residing within the Homeland Security Council. Under the Obama administration, while the Homeland Security Council remained, the Advisor held the title of Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, subordinating the position to thenational security advisor.

At the start of the Trump administration, the position of Homeland Security Advisor, occupied byTom Bossert, was elevated to the rank of Assistant to the President, making it equal in rank to the National Security Advisor. However, after clashes with the National Security Advisor, John Bolton, the position returned to the rank of Deputy Assistant to the President and was subordinate to the National Security Advisor.^[2]

And most recently under theBiden administration, the Homeland Security Council remained. The homeland security advisor (Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall) concurrently held the title and served as theDeputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, subordinating the position to theNational Security Advisor.
