Federal Surveillance Accountability Act

The Federal Surveillance Accountability Act is a proposed federal statute that mandates transparency, independent oversight, and enforceable accountability for surveillance and intelligence programs. In the current material it functions both as a policy framework and as a high-stakes political instrument: negotiators seek bipartisan sponsorship and public cover while leveraging the Act to demand concrete senior-leadership consequences — explicitly including Cabinet-level resignations — to compel executive compliance and reshape norms of responsibility between Congress and the White House.
