Posh name for a president (5) A_A_S

Also the answer to this one I have but I don't understand why:

Girl with a mop edited today's puzzle? One row leads to another just the same (8) L_P_G_ _ _

The editor of today's puzzle was HOB but I am mystified as to why the answer is LIPOGRAM and would be grateful for any explanation

Is there an overall theme of missing letters?

Anag 'girl + a mop'

Girl + a mop = lipogram?

(Victoria) Adams (Posh Spice)

[Lie-in King]

(John Quincy) Adams - also "Posh Spice"; Victoria Beckham, nee Adams

Not that I have noticed - all of the clues have been OK otherwise.

How culd I have not noticed Posh Spice? I need to get out more.......

Although interestingly there is no letter 'E' answered anywhere in the grid - the commonest lipogram omits the letter 'E'.

So one row leads to another implies two words for row, differing only by the letter 'E'
