History
The Office of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) was created during the 104th Congress (1995-1997). The predecessor to the CAO was the Director of Non-Legislative and Financial Services.
The Chief Administrative Officer is nominated by the Speaker of the House, elected by a majority of House members at the start of each Congress, and subject to the oversight of the Committee on House Administration. If there is a mid-Congress vacancy the Speaker of the House may nominate a replacement to serve until the start of a new Congress.
