Accountable Leadership for Veterans Act of 2025
HR 6755, the Accountable Leadership for Veterans Act of 2025, changes how key leadership positions are filled within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It raises the cap on noncareer appointees in Senior Executive Service roles from 5% to 10% and requires the President to appoint the Under Secretary for Health and Under Secretary for Benefits with Senate confirmation. These provisions directly affect VA leadership appointments, setting new rules for filling two top executive positions. The bill makes concrete changes to appointment procedures without altering VA benefits or services. It focuses on the process for selecting leadership, not on veterans' benefits or funding.
