Best Answer

The United States Ambassador to the United Nations (full title: Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations, with the rank and status of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, and Representative of the United States of America in the Security Council of the United Nations, also known as the U.S. Permanent Representative, or "Perm Rep", to the United Nations) is the leader of the United States' delegation to the United Nations. As such, he is charged with representing the United States on the UN Security Council, as well as being the representative of the United States in all plenary meetings of the General Assembly where a superior officer of the United States (e.g. the US Secretary of State or the President of the United States) is not present (a rare situation). Like all United States ambassadors, he must be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Currently, the permanent Ambassador is Zalmay Khalilzad, having succeeded acting Ambassador Alejandro Daniel Wolff. The previous interim permanent Ambassador, John R. Bolton (selected by recess appointment) resigned in the face of poor confirmation prospects after the 2006 elections returned a Democratic majority.
