Question : Why would Obama violate a law created from a bill OBAMA CO-SPONSORED (Inspector General Reform Act)?

“An inspector general fired by President Barack Obama……”

(Seriously, that’s all you need to know, he fired the guy without giving any legitimate reason according to many members of Congress)

The problem: the legislation he helped write was to prevent THIS EXACT SCENARIO from taking place…..

Specifically, the legislation will require that:

- Congress is notified of any proposed removal of an IG, along with the reasons for the removal, in writing with 30-days notice.

- All IGs must receive their own legal counsel or have access to the services of legal counsel of another Inspector General. This will allow them to avoid using agency counsels.

- A Council on Integrity and Efficiency for Inspectors General must be established. Within the Council, an Integrity Committee must be created to receive, review, and refer for investigation allegations of wrongdoing that are made against Inspectors General or certain other staff members.

- All IG websites are directly accessible from the home page of agency web sites. All IG reports must be posted on agency websites within 3 working days of their release.

- The president’s budget submission must state how much money is being requested for each IG office, as well as the funding level the IG requested for the office. This will allow Congress to identify whether agencies are trying to interfere with the work of an IG office by cutting funding.

- No IG may accept a bonus.

- Presidentially appointed IGs must be paid at Level III of the Executive Schedule, plus three percent, and other IGs must receive compensation comparable to other senior level executives in the department. This is aimed at preventing agencies from discouraging qualified candidates by lowering pay.

Senators Daniel Akaka (D-HI), Barack Obama (D-IL), Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Tom Carper (D-DE) and Ted Stevens (R-AK) are co-sponsors of the legislation. Similar legislation introduced by Congressman Jim Cooper (D-TN) in the House of Representatives received overwhelming bipartisan approval with a vote of 404-11.
