§1805a Deputy Architect of the Capitol to serve as acting in case of absence, disability, or vacancy

Summary

The Deputy Architect must step in and do the Architect’s job if the Architect is away, can’t work, or the job is empty. If the Deputy also is away, can’t work, or that job is empty, a congressional commission will choose someone by majority vote to act as Architect. The person chosen serves until the absence or disability ends or, if both jobs are vacant, until a new Architect is appointed. The acting Architect gets all the same duties and powers as the Architect, including the power to assign those duties to others.
