The PROTECT Act of 2025 would require the President to appoint the Director of the United States Secret Service with Senate confirmation, rather than allowing the appointment to be made without congressional oversight. The bill would establish a 10-year term for the Secret Service Director and limit individuals to serving only one term in that position. This change would affect the Secret Service's leadership structure and bring the agency's top position in line with other major federal law enforcement agencies that require Senate approval of their directors. The bill was introduced in November 2025 and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. No specific funding is authorized or required by this legislation, as it is primarily a structural governance change to increase congressional oversight of the agency responsible for presidential protection and counterfeiting investigations.
