Read a random definition: running objection

A quick definition of nominee:

A nominee is a person who is chosen to do a specific job or receive an award. For example, in the United States, a presidential nominee is the person chosen by their political party to run for president. A nominee can also be someone who takes the place of another person for a limited purpose, like in a property transaction. Sometimes a nominee is chosen to manage money or legal affairs for other people, like a trustee or agent.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A nominee is a person who is elected or designated by a group or organization to serve in a particular role or receive an award.

For example, in the United States, the President nominates individuals to serve as ambassadors, public ministers and consuls, and Supreme Court justices, subject to approval by the Senate. These individuals are known as nominees. Additionally, in the U.S. presidential race, a presidential nominee is the person nominated by their political party to run for U.S. president.

Another example of a nominee is a person who takes the place of another under a contract for a limited purpose. For instance, in a property transaction, an individual may act as a nominee for the buyer.

A nominee can also be a person named or designated as the recipient of a grant or conveyance of property. For instance, if a person wants to gift a property to someone, they may name that person as the nominee for the property.

Lastly, a nominee can be a person who manages funds or legal affairs for the benefit of others, similar to an agent or trustee. For example, a nominee may serve as a real estate broker and be instructed to buy land for an investor.

These examples illustrate how a nominee is a person who is chosen or designated to serve a specific purpose or role, whether it be in politics, business, or personal affairs.
