To prohibit an individual from acting as Director of National Intelligence if such individual is simultaneously serving as the head of any other Federal department or agency.

This legislation establishes a new restriction on the leadership of the United States intelligence community by prohibiting the Director of National Intelligence from holding any concurrent position as the head of another federal department or agency. The bill is intended to ensure that the Director of National Intelligence maintains a singular focus on oversight, coordination, and intelligence gathering without the potential conflicts of interest or divided attention that could arise from managing multiple federal entities simultaneously. For Arlington residents, many of whom work in the intelligence and federal contracting sectors, this mandate aims to reinforce administrative independence and clearer lines of accountability within the national security apparatus. By separating these roles, the law seeks to streamline operations and safeguard the integrity of intelligence reporting to policymakers.
