Ellen Sauerbrey (born September 9, 1937) is an American politician from Maryland and the former head of the United States Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
She was nominated to the Bureau in September 2005 by President George W.
Bush.
On January 4, 2006, Bush placed her in office by way of a recess appointment, bypassing the need for Senate confirmation.
Her confirmation was unlikely, given strong objections by some senators.
Sauerbrey's recess appointment caused some controversy; however, her experience as minority leader in the Maryland House of Delegates and managing a complex U.S.
Census project helped rally others to her cause.
