The Head of the DEA is nominated by the President, however, they are confirmed by the Senate via a Confirmation Hearing. Chuck Rosenberg is currently the Acting Head of the DEA. He has not yet been confirmed by the Senate. He was appointed by AG Loretta Lynch and is basically still in tryouts.

"Rosenberg will assume acting leadership of the DEA on May 18, 2015, replacing the current administrator, Michele Leonhart. Lynch may not be in any hurry to drop "acting" from Rosenberg's new title, given that the position requires Senate confirmation, and the current political climate sometimes makes Senate confirmation challenging."

Could he be earning his stripes? Either way, contrary to many opinions, the Head of the DEA definitely answers to the Senate.
