BREAKING: Trump administration to offer all 2 million federal workers the chance to take a “deferred resignation” with a severance package of eight months of pay and benefits. 5-10% of the workforce is estimated to quit, which could lead to around $100 billion in savings.”

The current "actings" get a 300 day period.

Tulsi & RFK jr could both be appointed acting...the acting period gets reset to 210 days.
Every time there is a nomination, the acting period gets reset to 210 days.
Every time the nomination is pulled(or rejected by senate), the acting period gets reset to 210 days. The reset can happen twice. (There is enough loopholes that there could be more than 2 acting periods - sickness seems to be a loophole for one)

Thinking outside the box, and working the reset, Tulsi & RFKjr could serve for as long as Pres. Trump wants them to serve up to 410 days (two 210 day periods)

The Vacancies Act includes several time limitations on acting service in covered positions when vacancies are not caused by sickness. If no one has been nominated to the position, an acting officer may serve in the position for no longer than 210 days beginning on the date of the vacancy. (5 U.S.C. § 3346(a)(1).) However, for any vacant positions that exist during the 60-day period beginning on a transitional Presidential inauguration day, an acting officer may serve in the position for no longer than 300 days beginning on the inauguration day or the date of the vacancy, whichever is later. (5 U.S.C. § 3349a.)

If there is a first or second nomination for the position, an acting officer (who is not the nominee or is the nominee and meets certain exceptions) may serve while the nomination is pending in the Senate. (5 U.S.C. § 3346(a)(2).) If the nomination is rejected or returned by the Senate or withdrawn by the President, an acting officer may serve for no longer than 210 days after the date of the rejection, return, or withdrawal. (5 U.S.C. § 3346(b).) These additional periods of acting service only apply to the first and second nominations. Further acting service is not permitted after 210 days following the rejection, return, or withdrawal of a second nomination, even if a third nomination is made. (5 U.S.C. § 3346.)
