WaPo Profiles Samantha Power | National Catholic Reporter

WaPo Profiles Samantha Power | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: It is always worth underlying that she serves at the pleasure of the President.  Of course, this is why the UN is not sovereign.  If she were independently elected she would still represent the national interest, but would have more latitude in doing so.  Still, I suspect that the President has been relying on her counsel for quite some time and likely continues to do so.  A really good essay on the role of Counselors is in the first part of More's Utopia.  This is ironic given More's fate.
