Prioritize nominations and limit commissioner overstays
What the document says“The President should prioritize nominations to the FEC once commissioners reach the end of their terms”
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.

When a member's term ends, name the next one fast.
Members of this agency can stay on after their term ends. Some stay for years. The book says replacements should be named fast.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. No candidate is a nomination, and none addresses how long a commissioner may serve after a term expires. The nearest by name, case-70377895, is a docket record for Giffords v. FEC in the D.C. Circuit, listed because the docket names an executive order; the site holds no text from it about nominations or holdover service. 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.
