A bill to establish procedures for the removal of the Architect of the Capitol.

S 97 amends the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act to establish clear procedures for removing the Architect of the Capitol. It adds a new subsection specifying that removal can occur via impeachment or by a joint congressional resolution for defined reasons, including permanent disability, inefficiency, neglect of duty, malfeasance, or certain felonies. This bill directly affects the Architect of the Capitol by outlining the formal grounds and process for their removal. The key change is codifying specific, limited grounds for congressional action, replacing previous ambiguity with defined criteria. The bill focuses solely on procedural changes to the removal process.
