Summary

The President must appoint a Director of the Bank, and the Senate must approve that appointment. If the person who represents the United States as Director or Alternate Director is a U.S. citizen, the President may give them pay and benefits, but the total they get—including amounts from the Bank and the African Development Fund—cannot be higher than what is allowed for a chief of mission under the Foreign Service Act of 1980.
