United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom
The
United States
Ambassador
to the
United Kingdom
(known formally as
Ambassador to the
Court of St James's
) is the official representative of the President of the United States to the head of state of
the United Kingdom
. The position is regarded as the most prestigious position in the
United States Foreign Service
due to the
Special Relationship
. The ambassadorship has been held by various notable politicians, including five who would later become presidents:
John Adams
,
James Monroe
,
John Quincy Adams
,
Martin Van Buren
and
James Buchanan
. The modern tendency of American presidents (of both parties) is however to appoint keen political
fundraisers
from previous
presidential campaigns
, despite the importance and prestige of the office.
