Currently this article says the following:

The Appointments Clause divides constitutional officers into two classes: principal officers, who must be appointed through the advice and consent mechanism; and inferior officers, who may be appointed through advice and consent of the Senate, but whose appointment Congress may place instead in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

This would leave the reader under the impression that this clause of the Constitution uses the word principal and in particular the phrase principal officers. But it does not. The only reference in the Constitution to "principal officer" is in the previous paragraph where is says:

[The president] may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices

The term inferior officers, on the other hand, does appear in the appointments clause. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:49, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
