1 THE ORDER OF PRECEDENCE OF THE UNITED states OF AMERICA Revised on November 3, 2017 The UNITED states ORDER of PRECEDENCE is an advisory document maintained by the Ceremonials Division of the Office of the Chief of Protocol. For purposes of protocol, the ORDER of PRECEDENCE establishes the ORDER and ranking of the UNITED states leadership for official events at home and abroad. Although this document establishes a general ORDER for the country s highest-level positions, it does not include every positional title across the federal government. Offices of Protocol for the Executive Departments and independent agencies should be consulted for internal rankings regarding positions not listed. In 1908, the Roosevelt Administration created the first ORDER of PRECEDENCE as a means of settling a history of embarrassment, confusion and miscommunication amongst officials invited to events at the White House. As the structure of the federal government has evolved over time this list has adapted and grown.
