The Chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee (R-IOWA) and classification member Dec Durbin (D-Mell) asked President Trump on Tuesday to provide Congress with the “objective logical basis” behind his decision to dismiss 18 from the government agency.
“We write to you today regarding the shooting of the Inspectors (IGS) from 18 offices,” read a message to Trump from the party members of the party.
Grassley and Dorbin added: “Congress has not been provided with the required notice legally for a period of 30 days and reasons for removal, as required by law.”
“Accordingly, we ask you to provide this information immediately.”
According to Trump, 78, dismantled the general inspectors of each agency at the cabinet level late Friday night without notifying the legislators in Congress, as many are arguing under the law, according to the Washington Post.
IGS was from the defense, state, transportation, employment, health and humanitarian services sections, warriors affairs, housing and urban development, interior, energy, trade, treasury and agriculture among the officials launched by the president, according to the director.
“It is very common to do it,” Trump told reporters in Air Force on Saturday.
“I do not know them,” said about the International Non -Parties Control Agency responsible for identifying and signing waste, fraud and abuse in the federal agencies, adding, “But some people thought that some were unfair or some were not doing their work. It is very standard.
“They are not popular,” the president continued. “I don't know anyone to do it. But we will put people there will be very good.”
IGS is working at the disposal of the president, but the members of the Senate notice in their message that the amendment consisting of grass has occurred in a law as part of the 2023 National Defense Licensing Law (NDAA) requires the leader to provide written and detailed communications Congress Congress to finish or transfer IGS at least at least 30 days before taking action.
“Although IGS is not immune to committing actions that require removed, and can be removed by the president, the law must be followed,” Grasley and Dorbine argued.
“Communication with Congress must contain more than just wide and mysterious data. Rather, it must include sufficient facts and details to ensure Congress and the public that the termination is due to real concerns about the Inspector's ability to implement his mission,” the members of the Senate continued.
They added: “This is a matter of public accountability and a Congress and ensuring the confidence of the public in the community of the Inspector General, a feeling that other members of Congress shares a larger scale.”
“Accordingly, we ask you to provide Congress with written communication that contains” the objective logical basis, including detailed and dedicated reasons for the case “for the IG that has been removed.”
He also asked Trump members from Trump to present the names of every official who serves the IG capacity on behalf and that he “works quickly to nominate qualified and non -partisan individuals to serve in these open positions.”
The White House did not immediately respond to the post of the publication to comment.
