Bill Summary
Amends the National Security Agency Act of 1959 and the Inspector General Act of 1978 to require the Director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Inspector General of NSA to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to change how the top leaders of the National Security Agency (NSA), a U.S. intelligence agency responsible for signals intelligence, are appointed. Specifically, it would require both the Director of the NSA and the NSA's Inspector General (an official who oversees the agency's operations for waste and fraud) to be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, a process known as "advice and consent." This change would apply to future appointments, with current officeholders allowed to continue their service until new appointments are made under these new requirements.
