WATCH: White House Holds Birthday Party for Marco Rubio

Today is Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s birthday!

He is 55 years young.

To celebrate the occasion, staffers surprised Marco with a birthday party, complete with a giant chocolate cake.

White House Communications Advisor Margo Martin shared the moment they sang “Happy Birthday” to our wonderful Secretary of State before he blew out the candles.

It’s pretty hilarious how the staffers struggled with what to call Marco there…

After all, he dons many, many hats!

It would have taken far too long to name all of his titles!

Happy birthday Mr…
(Choose one)

●Secretary of State

●Acting National Security Advisor

●Acting Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)

●Acting Archivist of the United States

No wonder there was confusion!
