Hi,
Does anybody know the German term for "The Secretary of State to the President"?
I know that the Secretary of State is what we call the Außenminister, but "The Secretary of State to the President"? A "Bildungslücke", it seems.
Thanks for your help,
Patricia

Discussion
In diesem Fall h�lt der "Secretary of State to the President" eine Rede zur Entf�hrung einer amerikanischen Staatsb�rgerin in Marokko. Die Geschichte spielt im Jahre 1904. Vielleicht ist das eine veraltete Bezeichnung f�r Au�enminister?
