Congressman Steve Cohen introduces a bill to protect inspectors general from political interference and ensure independent oversight.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) has introduced the Independent Acting Inspectors General Act, intended to protect both permanent and acting inspectors general from political interference. This legislation follows concerns regarding the dismissal of inspectors general during the Trump administration, aimed at enhancing independent oversight of federal agencies.
The proposed act stipulates that if the inspector general position is vacant, the Deputy IG will automatically assume the role. In cases where both positions are unoccupied, a judicial appointment system will be established, removing the President's ability to influence these positions.
Cohen stated, “With this Administration’s staggering abuses... independent IGs are crucial... [and] need to be insulated from political pressure.” He emphasized the importance of independent oversight in combating corruption within federal agencies.
