Prohibits the President from nominating political appointees as Inspectors General.
The Inspectors General Independence Act amends title 5 of the United States Code to prohibit the President from nominating political appointees as Inspectors General. The bill defines a political appointee as someone serving in a position that requires Senate confirmation and is subject to removal by the President. The position of Inspector General will not be considered a political appointee for these purposes. This aims to ensure the independence of Inspectors General in their oversight roles.
