Penalties for Administrative People

Open email to Sen. Cornyn (TX):

Dear Sen. Cornyn,
    I like your amendment to the recent Senate budget bill, wherein you withhold the pay of the Director of The Office of Management and Budget and other related budget preparation persons, when they are late in submitting the required budget.
    This is particularly interesting, because it's a first step by Congress to hold various people of the Administration responsible for properly doing their jobs. This is particularly true of the various Federal agencies. For each of these agencies, I believe there is an equivalent Senate overseeing committee. The Senate committees need to take more forceful actions with these various agencies to follow the laws previously established by Congress and approved by the President. We see too many cases where persons take inappropriate actions, inconsistent with the original law or regulation. These people do damage and need to be restrained. I believe that should be the responsibility of the Congressional oversight committees.
