Ambassadors of the United States are persons nominated by thepresident to serve as the United States'diplomatic representatives to foreign nations, international organizations, and asambassadors-at-large. UnderArticle II, Section 2 of theU.S. Constitution, their appointment must beconfirmed by theUnited States Senate;[1] while an ambassador may beappointed during a recess, they can serve only until the end of the next session of Congress, unless subsequently confirmed.[2]
Ambassadors are the highest-ranking diplomats of the U.S. and are usually based at theembassy in the host country. They are under the jurisdiction of theDepartment of State and answer directly to thesecretary of state; however, ambassadors serve "at the pleasure of the President", meaning they can be dismissed at any time. Appointments change regularly for various reasons, such as reassignment or retirement.
An ambassador may be a careerForeign Service officer (career diplomat – CD) or apolitical appointee (PA). In most cases, career foreign service officers serve a tour of approximately three years per ambassadorship, whereas political appointees customarily tender their resignations upon the inauguration of a new president.
TheState Department publishes a monthly list of ambassadors.[3] A listing by country of pastchiefs of mission is maintained by theOffice of the Historian of the U.S. Department of State,[4] along with the names and appointment dates of past and presentambassadors-at-large[5] and mission tointernational organizations.[6]
Note that the information in this list is subject to change due to regular personnel changes resulting from retirements and reassignments. The State Department posts updated lists of ambassadors approximately monthly, accessible via an interactive menu-based website.[3][7][8]

These diplomatic officials report directly to the Secretary of State. Many oversee a portfolio not restricted to one nation, often an overall goal, and are not usually subject to Senate confirmation.[14][13][15] Unlike the State Department offices and diplomats listed in other sections of this article, the offices and special envoys/representatives/coordinators listed in this section are created and staffed by direction of top federal executive administrators – primarily U.S. Presidents and Secretaries of State – whose political or organizational management philosophies may not be shared by their successors.[16][17][18] As such, many of these positions may go unfilled upon assumption of office by successor presidential administrations, with their offices sometimes merged with or subsumed into other offices, or abolished altogether.
