Dual Hatting Limitation Act of 2026

This bill would bar certain senior federal officials from holding or carrying out the duties of any other federal position at the same time. It covers the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, the Special Counsel, the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, the Archivist of the United States, and officials at Level I of the Executive Schedule, such as Cabinet secretaries. The ban also applies to anyone serving in any of these roles on a temporary, acting basis. The bill would also stop the President from naming a person to fill a vacant office on an acting basis if that person is already serving in another office on an acting basis.
