A U.S. president can employ a person or group to audit government agencies for waste, fraud, and abuse without requiring Senate confirmation.
The president has the authority to direct the creation of task forces, advisory boards, or special projects to investigate issues like waste, fraud, and abuse within government agencies. This could involve hiring individuals or contracting with private firms for audits. These positions do not require Senate confirmation if they are part of an executive initiative.
The Constitution's Appointments Clause distinguishes between principal officers (who require Senate confirmation) and inferior officers (who do not). This distinction applies to certain roles within the executive branch, such as special auditors or investigators, depending on their responsibilities and the authority granted to them.
Examples: President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the War Production Board to oversee production during World War II without needing Senate confirmation for its members.
President Lyndon B. Johnson used executive authority to create task forces (e.g., the President’s Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity) without Senate confirmation, as they were executive branches or advisory bodies without fixed leadership that required confirmation.
SCOTUS has ruled on this numerous times. See: Buckley v. Valeo (1976), Morrison v. Olson (1988) & Edmond v. United States (1997).
