Requires Congress to approve major changes to federal agencies and their staff.
This bill would require the President to get Congress's approval before making big changes to federal agencies, their budgets, or their staff. It would give federal employees and their unions more notice and a say in these reorganizations. This is different from today, where the executive branch can make many of these changes without specific congressional approval.
Today, the executive branch can make significant changes to federal agencies, their budgets, and staffing without needing specific approval from Congress for each action. If this bill becomes law, the President would need to submit a detailed report and get a joint resolution of approval from Congress before any major reorganization could take effect. This includes changes that reduce an agency's staff by not less than 5 percent or its budget by not less than 10 percent.
