Replaces section 301 to change the appointment and removal process for the Director of the Government Publishing Office: appointment occurs by adoption of a concurrent resolution selecting an individual recommended by a newly established commission; the commission's composition is specified; removal requires an affirmative three-fifths vote of Members duly chosen or sworn in both the House and the Senate.
Makes multiple amendments to 31 U.S.C. 703: redesignates existing subsections (a) through (f) as (b) through (g); inserts a new subsection (a) requiring the Comptroller General to be appointed by adoption by Congress of a concurrent resolution selecting the individual recommended by the commission established under subsection (b)(2); amends subsection (b) by (1) changing paragraph (1) text to replace 'Comptroller General and Deputy Comptroller General are' with 'Deputy Comptroller General is', (2) in paragraph (2) replacing 'the President' with 'the Congress or the President, respectively,', and (3) replacing paragraph (3) to require a commission established because of a vacancy to recommend one individual and allow Congress to ask for additional recommendations; and amends subsection (f)(1)(B) to replace 'joint resolution of Congress' with wording specifying appointment of the Comptroller General 'by concurrent resolution of Congress' and the Deputy Comptroller General 'by joint resolution of Congress'.
Amends section 772(a) by striking the citation 'section 703(e)(1)' and inserting 'section 703(f)(1)'.
