Summary

[edit]
Description Per statute, the Secretary of State is responsible for the Great Seal of the United States. As such, the Secretary countersigns certain documents that are signed by the President, such as Presidential commissions and ratification of treaties. Secretary Blinken countersigned the Presidential commissions for some of the other Cabinet members at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., on March 9, 2021. Next, the Office of Presidential Appointments will seal these commissions, which authenticates the signatures. The Office of Presidential Appointments is the Keeper of the Great Seal of the United States on behalf of the Secretary of State. The Great Seal is located in the Exhibit Hall of the Harry S. Truman building. [State Department Photo by Ron Przysucha/ Public Domain]
