Project 2025Chapter 29 › Proposal

Prioritize nominations and limit commissioner overstays

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 29, p. 865. Written by Hans A. von Spakovsky.

Prioritize nominations and limit commissioner overstays

The document says “shouldWho acts: President, CongressHow: legislationp. 865 in the PDF
What the document says

“The President should prioritize nominations to the FEC once commissioners reach the end of their terms”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 865

The chapter asks for legislative language either eliminating or limiting overstays to a reasonable period, so there is time to vet, nominate and confirm successors. Commissioners may currently continue serving after their terms expire until replaced.

What the document actually says

“The President should prioritize nominations to the FEC once commissioners reach the end of their terms”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 865
That sentence, in plain words

When a member's term ends, name the next one fast.

What this is about

Members of this agency can stay on after their term ends. Some stay for years. The book says replacements should be named fast.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
