Enduring Accountability Act

This bill would let military leaders remove a member of the Armed Forces from service if the member accepts a pardon or a reduced sentence from the President. Within 30 days of the member accepting the pardon or commutation, the military department must convene a board to review the underlying conduct, make findings of fact, and recommend whether to separate the member regardless of the pardon. The department Secretary may then involuntarily separate the member, or withdraw federal recognition for a National Guard member, following the board's recommendation. The Secretary of Defense must be notified at each step, and a written report on the board's recommendation and the Secretary's decision must go to specified congressional committees within 30 days.
