Ambassadors of the United States are persons nominated by the president to serve as the United States' diplomatic representatives to foreign nations, international organizations, and as ambassadors-at-large. Under Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, their appointment must be confirmed by the United States Senate;[https://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/history/one_item_and_teasers/powers.htm U.S. Senate{{snd}}Powers & Procedure] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171010054718/https://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/history/one_item_and_teasers/powers.htm |date=October 10, 2017 }}, Senate.gov; retrieved May 25, 2012. while an ambassador may be appointed during a recess, they can serve only until the end of the next session of Congress, unless subsequently confirmed.{{cite web|url=https://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/RS21308.pdf|title=Recess Appointments: Frequently Asked Questions|publisher=Congressional Research Service, the Library of Congress|author=Henry B.

Ambassadors are the highest-ranking diplomats of the U.S. and are usually based at the embassy in the host country. They are under the jurisdiction of the Department of State and answer directly to the secretary of state; however, ambassadors serve "at the pleasure of the President", meaning they can be dismissed at any time. Appointments change regularly for various reasons, such as reassignment or retirement.
An ambassador may be a career Foreign Service officer (career diplomat{{snd}}CD) or a political appointee (PA). In most cases, career foreign service officers serve a tour of approximately three years per ambassadorship, whereas political appointees customarily tender their resignations upon the inauguration of a new president.
The State Department publishes a monthly list of ambassadors.{{Cite web|title=List of U.S. Ambassadors|url=https://www.state.gov/resources-bureau-of-global-talent-management/#ambassadors|website=United States Department of State|language=en}} A listing by country of past chiefs of mission is maintained by the Office of the Historian of the U.S. Department of State,{{cite web|title=Chiefs of Mission Listed by Country|url=https://history.state.gov/departmenthistory/people/chiefsofmission/by-country|publisher=U.S. Department of State|access-date=June 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170512025317/https://history.state.gov/departmenthistory/people/chiefsofmission/by-country|archive-date=May 12, 2017|url-status=live}} along with the names and appointment dates of past and present ambassadors-at-large{{cite web |title=Ambassadors at Large |url=https://history.state.gov/departmenthistory/people/principalofficers/ambassador-at-large |publisher=U.S. Department of State |access-date=July 18, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180707035251/https://history.state.gov/departmenthistory/people/principalofficers/ambassador-at-large |archive-date=July 7, 2018 |url-status=live }} and mission to international organizations.{{cite web |title=Chiefs of Mission to International Organizations |url=https://history.state.gov/departmenthistory/people/chiefsofmission/by-organization |publisher=U.S. Department of State |access-date=July 18, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180706203110/https://history.state.gov/departmenthistory/people/chiefsofmission/by-organization |archive-date=July 6, 2018 |url-status=live }}
