This bill would change how the United States Secret Service is led. It adds a new subsection to 18 U.S.C. 3056. The Service would be headed by a Director who is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Director would serve a single 10-year term. The 10-year, one-term rule takes effect on the date the President first appoints a Director after the bill becomes law. The bill's short title is the "Providing Real Oversight and Transparency to Effectively Counter Threats Act of 2025" or the "PROTECT Act of 2025."
If the bill becomes law, the top job at the Secret Service would require Senate confirmation and would last 10 years with no reappointment. This changes the formal term length and limits the Director to one term. The change takes effect at the first Presidential appointment after enactment.
