Make the FBI Director removable like other agency heads
What the document says“the next conservative Administration should seek a legislative change to align the FBI Director’s position with those of the heads of all other major departments and agencies.”
The FBI Director serves a ten-year term, an arrangement adopted to insulate the post from political pressure. The chapter says the Director must remain politically accountable to the President in the same manner as any other agency head, and frames the change as ensuring prompt political accountability and reining in perceived or actual abuses.
What the document actually says“the next conservative Administration should seek a legislative change to align the FBI Director’s position with those of the heads of all other major departments and agencies.”
Change the law so the FBI chief is like other agency heads.
The FBI chief serves a ten-year term. That was meant to keep the job out of politics. The book says the president should be able to remove him like any other chief.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed changes how the FBI Director may be removed. The nearest document, Executive Order 14147 of January 20, 2025, directs the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence to review four years of federal law enforcement and intelligence activity and report to the President with recommended remedies. It leaves the Director's ten-year statutory term in place, and the alignment the chapter asks for would take an act of Congress, which the record indexed here does not contain. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
