Why Is Ivanka Leading US Delegations, and Not Secretary of State?

Ivanka Trump, President Trump's daughter is representing an official American delegation in an event put on by the US State Department, instead of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Nepotism much?

Update:

Is the US a democracy or a banana republic? I thought us Americans had laws against that stuff

    To become Secretary of State, the Senate would have to approve of it, and it is debatable if they would allow her to hold that position, given she is the President's daughter.

    I seem to remember first ladies leading these sorts of things. Ms. Obama took her children with her. https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whisp...

    Ivanka does some of this for the president, and I think she left her children home as well.

    Tillerson is about to be replaced.

    Because she is knowledgeable on the subject and Tillerson has more important things to do.

    Dump can do whatever he wants, until he is impeached.
