Treasury Secretary

institutional off-stage decisive collaborative authoritative technically expert urgency-driven

The Treasury Secretary directs the Department of the Treasury, managing federal revenues, debt, and economic policy distinct from the ceremonial Treasurer of the United States. Margaret clarifies this separation to Leo during a schedule review, as he shifts priorities to address market instability over routine briefings. The role anchors the administration's fiscal apparatus, referenced amid urgent triage that elevates trade and security concerns. No direct appearance or actions occur, but the distinction reinforces cabinet structures supporting President Bartlet's economic agenda.
