@RepEdCase in Appropriations advocating for his Legislative Branch Independence Act

Published | Video Starts at 02:20

… we only recommend who our comptroller General, our comptroller General is the President, gets to make that appointment. And that's not correct. And that's not correct. And it shouldn't be. I have a bill in with other members of this Congress, HR 6517, the legislative branch Independence act, which essentially says for all three of these critical agencies that it's up to Congress to both appoint and to remove. And it's up to Congress in particular to appoint in an exclusive congressional action, our comptroller. Excuse me, yes, our comptroller general. (02:20–02:39)

CLAIM

Asserts that HR 6517 proposes Congress should have exclusive authority to appoint and remove leaders of certain agencies.
