# 22 U.S.C. § 2688 - Ambassadors; criteria regarding selection and confirmation
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
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.
