Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox government agency The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is the federal agency responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, and preservation of the United States Capitol Complex. It is an agency of the legislative branch of the federal government[1] and is accountable to the United States Congress and the Supreme Court.[2] Both the agency and the head of the agency are called "Architect of the Capitol". The head of the agency is appointed to a 10-year term by the president of the United States, confirmed by the United States Senate,[3] and is accountable to the president.[4]

Overview

The agency had 2,444 employees and an annual budget of approximately $788 million as of September 2022.[5]

The head of the agency sits on the Capitol Police Board, which has jurisdiction over the United States Capitol Police, and on the United States Capitol Guide Board, which has jurisdiction over the United States Capitol Guide Service.

Until 1989, the architect of the Capitol was appointed by the president of the United States for an indefinite term. Legislation in 1989 provides that the president appoints the architect for a term of ten years, with the advice and consent of the Senate, from a list of three candidates recommended by a congressional commission composed of the speaker of the House, president pro tem of the Senate, the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate, and the chair and ranking members of the House Committee on House Administration, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.[6] On confirmation by the Senate, the architect becomes an official of the legislative branch as an officer and agent of Congress.Шаблон:Citation needed The architect is eligible for reappointment after completion of the term.
