Fight For Independent Oversight Of Congressional Ethics Violations |
"Obama will use the power of the presidency to fight for an independent watchdog agency to oversee the investigation of congressional ethics violations so that the public can be assured that ethics complaints will be investigated."

Ethics Agenda Section Disappears
The page on WhiteHouse.gov detailing Obama's ethics pledges, including this one, was replaced with a message telling readers to "please check back soon" for updates related to the president's executive order placing limits on lobbyist activity. The page disappeared the day after Obama signed the order, and also the day after a Roll Call report on the administration's proposed ethics rules for Congress. |
