in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress states that ambassadors should be people who have clearly shown they can perform ambassadorial duties. Financial political contributions should not be the main reason for selecting an ambassador.

It is the sense of the Congress that the position of United States ambassador to a foreign country should be accorded to men and women possessing clearly demonstrated competence to perform ambassadorial duties. No individual should be accorded the position of United States ambassador to a foreign country primarily because of financial contributions to political campaigns.
