A couple bits of news hit last week concerning the Government Accountability Office (GAO). First, it was reported by Politico that members of Congress, including some Republicans, continue to press GAO to sue the administration over violations of the Impoundment Control Act (ICA). Second, it was reported that the administration has floated the name of someone as a possible appointee as the next Comptroller General (head of GAO). As the head of GAO serves a 15 year term and can only be removed by the Congress for cause, this is a particularly crucial appointment with potential long-lasting consequences.
