Allow a second five-year term for the health under secretary
What the document says“authority should be given to reappoint this individual for a second five-year term”
The chapter frames this as allowing continuity and protecting the post from political transition. The Under Secretary for Health runs the department's hospital system.
What the document actually says“authority should be given to reappoint this individual for a second five-year term”
Let this person be reappointed. A second five-year term should be allowed.
One official runs all the VA hospitals. The job lasts five years. The book says the person should be able to serve a second term.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. No indexed law or order allows the Under Secretary for Health to be reappointed to a second five-year term or changes the terms of that post. The candidates share only common words with the proposal. 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.
