Create Inspector General for White House Executive Office

41 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The Executive Office of the President lacks independent oversight by an inspector general, a crucial form of accountability for the highest levels of government. There have been long-standing calls to create such a watchdog office to monitor the conduct and actions of the president's staff and administration. This proposal to establish an inspector general to oversee the White House is a vital check on executive power that would help root out fraud, waste, and abuse. Inspectors general at other federal agencies have uncovered serious misconduct, and the same scrutiny should apply to the president's office. This measure would ensure no administration operates above the law or evades public accountability. While previous attempts have stalled, the urgent need for robust oversight necessitates passing legislation to establish an inspector general for the Executive Office of the President. Proper oversight and transparency should be a priority, regardless of which party controls the White House. Implementing this independent watchdog would uphold democratic principles and foster public trust in the integrity of the nation's highest office. I encourage you to support such legislation.
