Par For the Course
Our illustrious leader will veto legislation that would strenghten oversight of federal agencies. Currently the Inspectors General of each agency work for the head of that agency. Conflicting interests are not too hard to imagine, much less cite example for.
House Democrats are intensifying their efforts to strengthen oversight of the executive branch with a bill that would make it harder for the administration to control its own internal watchdogs. The bill, which would restrict the circumstances under which an inspector general could be fired, is set for a floor vote Wednesday.
