President Trump issued a signing statement on Friday that suggests he see limits on the extent of oversight to be provided by the new Special Inspector General for Pandemic Response (SIGPR). Created in the legislation, the SIGPR is intended to “conduct, supervise, and coordinate audits and investigations of the making, purchase, management, and sale of loans, loan guarantees, and other investments made by the Secretary of the Treasury under any program” under the new Act. The SIGPR is directed under the legislation to provide quarterly reports to Congress — and to inform Congress if agencies unreasonably refuse to provide requested information. In critiquing the role of the SIGPR in the signed bill, the President stated, “I do not understand, and my Administration will not treat, this provision as permitting the SIGPR to issue reports to the Congress without the presidential supervision required by the Take Care Clause, Article II, section 3.”
