It is the sense of Congress that all officials of the United States Government offered to receive diplomatic accreditation from a foreign nation should be thoroughly vetted and reviewed for qualification before— being authorized to represent the United States Government at sensitive postings overseas; or receiving taxpayer-funded salaries, allowances, and employment benefits in connection with such a posting. Section 1(j)(2) of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 ( 22 U.S.C. 2651a(j) ) is amended— by redesignating subparagraphs (A), (B), and

An individual may not be appointed to more than 1 position described in this paragraph during a single calendar year. . The amendments made by this subsection shall take effect on January 1, 2025.
