WASHINGTON
—
The White House personnel office chief has told President Trump that his top two picks to fill the Homeland Security secretary job aren’t eligible under a federal law dictating

without Senate confirmation,
people familiar with the matter said. . .
Sean Doocey
, head of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, informed the president that, as a result, neither man is eligible to be elevated to the Department’s top job, according to the people. The federal statute that governs vacancies states that acting officials in cabinet-level positions must either be next in line for a position or hold a Senate-confirmed position. . .
The meeting with Mr. Trump on Friday included
Stephen Miller,
a top adviser to the president, and
Emma Doyle
