editStephen Miller, former adviser to Donald Trump
editStephen Miller’s page lists him as being adviser to the President “2017 - present.” This is incorrect as he is not advising President Biden. Miller’s job ended on January 20, 2021. Please update.
Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:640:8580:5C20:E45B:C441:46A5:A74E (talk) 08:01, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- This is about the succession box at Stephen Miller (political advisor)#External links. There are multiple people at the same time at Senior Advisor to the President of the United States. I'm not sure it's a good idea to have a succession box at all. Three predecessors, serving with one and sometimes two other, and three successors. That's messy.

- Still, it is incorrect in those universes in which Donald J. Trump is not the incumbent President of those United States. --Lambiam 10:24, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- I have amended "present" to "2020". We hold these truths to be self evident. Alansplodge (talk) 10:32, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- The election was in 2020, the term ended in 2021. I have changed it and added successors instead of saying incumbent. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- The title of Senior Advisor to the President of the United States is not one of a political office as the term is usually understood. It is not a cabinet-level appointment and a holder of the title does not head one of the White House offices. The (in my eyes) impropriety of calling it an "office" and mentioning predecessors and successors is also present in the {{Infobox officeholder}} in the article. --Lambiam 11:22, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- "Impropriety" covers most things to do with that POTUS and his coterie. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 19:59, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
