HRES259-119

What This Bill Does

This House Resolution requests the President to provide documents within 14 days about individuals working for or with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)--including Elon Musk and other named individuals--who have been granted access to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) systems. It is an "inquiry resolution," a congressional oversight tool used to demand information from the executive branch.

Who Benefits and How

The House of Representatives and the public benefit by gaining transparency into who has accessed sensitive consumer financial data and government systems. The resolution seeks detailed information about security clearances, background checks, and whether proper protocols were followed when granting system access to DOGE personnel.

Who Bears the Burden and How

The President and executive branch would need to compile and provide extensive documentation, including personnel information, access logs, security clearance records, and conflict-of-interest reviews. This creates an administrative burden and could expose potential security or procedural lapses.
