Three Biden administration officials have exceeded the amount of time they can use the “acting” title and are currently serving in their positions unlawfully, a government watchdog group declared Wednesday.

The Government Accountability Office found that Deidre Harrison, the acting controller at the Office of Management and Budget; Allison Randall, the acting director of the Department of Justice’s Office of Violence Against Women; and Charlotte A. Dye, the acting general counsel at the Federal Labor Relations Authority were all in violation of the 1998 Federal Vacancies Reform Act.

All three officials have been serving in an acting capacity since November 2021, exceeding the 210 day limit the law sets after the role becomes vacant, or 300 day limit after a presidential inauguration, according to the GAO. Officials can only stay in an acting role for a longer period of time if a permanent nomination is pending or if a nomination is withdrawn or rejected, the watchdog explains.

So it is illegal to issue them a pay check as well.

The law doesn’t say you quit paying them. I would agree...after the 210th day...your pay-check should halt. Begs the question why the names haven’t been submitted or approved at this point.

Any bets that Biden doesn’t even know them or has not even met them ever?

The ENTIRE Biden administration is “acting”. Not a damn one is qualified or legitimate.

Obama people I’m guessing

Deidre Harrison, the acting controller at the OMB; Allison Randall, the acting director of the DOJ’s Office of Violence Against Women; and Charlotte A. Dye, the acting general counsel at the FLRA were all in violation....

Acting? Women are naturals.
