Marco Rubio steps down as acting director of US National Archives

US Secretary of State and national security adviser Marco Rubio is no longer the acting archivist of the United States, a spokesman of the National Archives and Records Administration said on Thursday, Reuters writes.

Within weeks of taking office last year, Trump fired then-U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan and appointed Rubio as acting head of the archives, one of many hats he has worn in the administration.

Rubio stepped back from the National Archives job in compliance with the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, which limits how long officials can serve in Senate-confirmed roles in an acting capacity.
