[Real42]

A
BILL
To
Amend the Executive Standards Act & Amend the Constitution​

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the Constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the 'Save Our Secretaries (SOS) Act'.
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by Representative TheReal42Person.
(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by Rep. Adam_The_Warrior.

2 - Reasons
(1) The Reasonably Acting Secretaries Act was determined to not be legal and in effect as it did not mention it was amending the Constitution.
(2) The President should have the power to nominate an Acting Secretary without Senate approval.
(3) Departments need a leader and a temporary solution does not need to be confirmed by a slow Congress.

3 - Section “5 - Cabinet” of the Executive Standards Act shall be amended as follows:
“(1) An Acting Secretary may serve in that role without Senate confirmation for a period of up to 14 days, starting from when they assume the office of Acting Secretary. After that time period elapses, the Acting Secretary must receive Senate confirmation if they are to continue in that role. After an Acting Secretary's term expires, they may not be Acting Secretary for 14 days.”
