Remove duplicate name under Governors

William John Bulow was listed under Governors section twice. I removed the duplicate entry.--BuzyBody (talk) 23:53, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Teresa Stanek Rea

Where does Teresa Stanek Rea, head of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, belong in this list? There doesn't seem to be spot for a federal official who is not a legislator, judge or Cabinet member. TJRC (talk) 22:44, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I've created a new catch-all "Other" section at the end, for notable law & government individuals who do not fit in any of the existing pigeonholes, and added Rea there. TJRC (talk) 16:01, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Proposal for reorganization

The organization of this article seems a bit haphazard, neither by relative importance of post nor alphabetically. I propose a reorganization with more weight given to relative prominence of positions. Something like this:

• Heads of state
• U.S. federal officials
  • Cabinet officials
  • Members of U.S. Senate
  • Members of U.S. House of Representatives
  • Justices and federal judges
  • Ambassadors
  • U.S. military
  • Other federal officials
• U.S. state officials
  • Governors
  • State legislators
  • State justices and judges
  • Other state officials
• U.S. local government officials
• Foreign government officials and military
• Others

Having said that, maybe a cleaner organization for both federal and state levels would be to break it up by Executive/Legislative/Judiciary. Sarcasmboy (talk) 02:08, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
