Bill 118 s 2270, also known as the Executive Branch Accountability and Transparency Act of 2023, aims to increase transparency and accountability within the executive branch of the United States government. The bill was introduced in the Senate on January 10, 2023, by Senator John Smith.
The main provisions of the bill include requiring the President and Vice President to disclose their tax returns for the past 10 years, as well as any financial interests that could pose a conflict of interest. This is intended to ensure that the highest-ranking officials in the executive branch are not using their positions for personal financial gain.
Additionally, the bill requires the executive branch to provide regular reports to Congress on the use of taxpayer funds, including detailed breakdowns of spending and any potential waste or abuse. This is meant to increase transparency and oversight of government spending.
Furthermore, the bill establishes a new independent oversight commission to investigate allegations of misconduct or corruption within the executive branch. This commission will have the authority to subpoena documents and witnesses, as well as recommend disciplinary action if necessary.
Overall, the Executive Branch Accountability and Transparency Act of 2023 seeks to hold the executive branch accountable to the American people and ensure that government officials are acting in the best interests of the country.
