                                           The White House,
                                      Washington, November 4, 2025.
Hon. Mike Johnson,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Acting pursuant to my authority under 
Article II of the Constitution of the United States, I have 
terminated the Inspectors General for the following executive 
departments and agencies:
           The Export-Import Bank of the United States; 
        and
           The Federal Housing Finance Agency.
    The Constitution vests ``the executive Power'' in the 
President, who has a duty to ``take Care that the Laws be 
faithfully executed.'' U.S. Const., Art. II, Sec. 1, cl. 1; id. 
at Sec. 3. As the Supreme Court has recognized, ``[b]ecause no 
single person could fulfill that responsibility alone, the 
Framers expected that the President would rely on subordinate 
officers for assistance.'' Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial 
Protection Bureau, 591 U.S. 197, 203-204 (2020). In order to 
ensure the President can properly discharge his duty to ensure 
the laws are faithfully executed, ``[s]ince 1789, the 
Constitution has been understood to empower the President to 
keep these officers accountable--by removing them from office, 
if necessary.'' Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company 
Accounting Oversight Board, 561 U.S. 477, 483 (2010).
    With a change in Presidential administration comes a change 
in priorities. I lacked confidence in these officers to assist 
me in faithfully discharging my duties under the law. Thus, 
they have been terminated.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                                  [all]
