Looks like if they push him through then the new Congress can pass a resolution by simple majority to remove him after “notice and opportunity for hearing” (a thing also decided by the congressional majority)
So they could confirm him, then we publicly humiliate him and his mentor, Vought.

“A potential vote to confirm [Ueland] as GAO comptroller could come down to a few outgoing Republican senators who have challenged some of the Trump administration's decisionmaking.”
Not only that the primary candidate appears to be Erik Ueland, a man who is Russell Vought’s creature. This is for a 15 year term and the Republicans had two years to nominate a candidate. Think about if Wormtongue had an unctuous assistant.
Republicans are going to try to rush through an unvetted Trump pick to lead the Government Accountability Office during the lame duck Congress.

The fight over the Comptroller General has been looming for a while. I explain here why its such a big deal. GAO is supposed to call out Russ Vought tor violating Congressional appropriation powers. Now Vought is trying to have a lackey lead the GAO. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/congress-f...

As comptroller, @marklevinenyc.bsky.social has authority over the execution of NYC's bond sales.
Rather than presume the bonds' purchasers must be private institutional investors, he could press the state to create its own public state + city banks to purchase NYC's bonds.

Also because the comptroller general is a legislative position, they cannot be subsequently dismissed by a democratic president, only impeached or removed for cause by a joint resolution of Congress. This is an attempt to embed someone to hamstring future governments.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing Thursday to hear testimony from Trump's GAO comptroller general nom.
Trump hasn't nominated anyone yet. And a bipartisan panel of lawmakers are supposed to recommend a list of candidates to WH first.
Trump hasn't nominated anyone yet. And a bipartisan panel of lawmakers are supposed to recommend a list of candidates to WH first.
NEW: Dems say Trump, in yet another lame duck session attempt to secure power, is trying to expedite the placement of one of his allies to lead GAO — the federal agency that repeatedly concluded that the Trump admin violated the Impoundment Control Act.
“We cannot allow President Trump to install a fox in the henhouse at an agency Congress relies on to provide independent, nonpartisan oversight, and expose waste, fraud, and abuse across the Trump Administration,” Democrats said in a joint statement.
