The Senate bill leaves out several provisions contained in a similar bill passed in the House last year.参议院条例草案遗漏了若干条款包含在一个类似的条例草案获得通过，在众议院去年。 The Bush administration threatened a veto over constitutional concerns it had with the House-passed version.布什政府威胁否决宪法的关注，它已与众议院通过的版本。
Under the House measure, inspectors would be appointed to seven-year terms and could only be removed from office for cause, such as neglect of duty, inefficiency, conviction for a felony or other inappropriate conduct.根据众议院的措施，督察会被委任为7年任期也只能被免职办事处的原因，如疏于职守，效率低下，定罪为一项重罪或其他不当行为。 The House version also would require the independent watchdogs to submit their budgets directly to Congress in addition to the White House.众议院的版本也将要求独立的监管机构提交他们的预算，直接向国会在除白宫。
