The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor or at times informally termed the NSC advisor,〔The National Security Advisor and Staff: p. 1.〕〔Abbreviated NSA, or sometimes APNSA or ANSA in order to avoid confusion with the abbreviation of the National Security Agency.〕 is a senior aide in the Executive Office of the President, based at the West Wing of the White House, who serves as the chief in-house advisor to the President of the United States on national security issues. The APNSA also participates in the meetings of the National Security Council and usually chairs the Principal Committee meetings with the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense (i.e. the meetings not attended by the President). The APNSA is supported by the National Security Staff (NSS) that produces research and briefings for the APNSA to review and present, either to the National Security Council or directly to the President. The current Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs is Susan Rice, who assumed the role on July 1, 2013.〔http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/key_members_of_obama_biden_national_security_team_announced/〕 ==Role== The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA) is appointed by the President without confirmation by the Senate.〔The National Security Advisor and Staff: p. 29.〕 The influence and role of the National Security Advisor varies from administration to administration; and depends, not only on the qualities of the person appointed to the position, but also on the style and management philosophy of the incumbent President.〔The National Security Advisor and Staff: pp. 17-21.〕 Ideally, the APNSA serves as an honest broker of policy options for the President in the field of national security, rather than as an advocate for his or her own policy agenda.〔The National Security Advisor and Staff: pp. 10-14.〕 However, the APNSA is a staff position in the Executive Office of the President and does not have line or budget authority over either the Department of State nor the Department of Defense, unlike the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, who are Senate-confirmed officials with statutory authority over their departments;〔See for the Secretary of State and for the Secretary of Defense.〕 but the APNSA is able to offer daily advice (due to the proximity) to the President independently of the vested interests of the large bureaucracies and clientele of those departments.〔 In times of crisis, the National Security Advisor is likely to operate from the White House Situation Room, or the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (as on September 11, 2001), updating the President on the latest events in a crisis situation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Security Advisor (United States)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
