Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change federal law on how Inspectors General are chosen. The President could not nominate someone to be an Inspector General if that person is serving as a political appointee on the date of the nomination. The President also could not nominate someone who previously served as a political appointee under that same President. The Inspector General position itself would not count as a political appointee position for these rules.
