AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill sets rules for who temporarily leads the Office of the Director of National Intelligence when the Director's position is vacant or the Director is absent or disabled. The Senate-confirmed Principal Deputy Director would act as Director, overriding the general federal vacancies law. If that deputy is also unavailable, the President would have to pick another Senate-confirmed official from within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. If all those offices are empty, the President would pick a Senate-confirmed official from any intelligence agency, and only if no one qualifies could the President use the general vacancies law.
