Former officials have no power to make appointments. Are we informing readers that the person who held the office in 2017 doesn't still hold it today? Isn't that what readers would expect? If we head down this road, we'll wind up explaining that former General George Washington defeated former Lord Cornwallis at the erstwhile Battle of Yorktown.
