Held for 38 years by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Paul is the co-sponsor of a bill to abolish the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The bill calls for three separate national research institutes.
The directors would be limited to two five year terms and they would have to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Paul says that 40 was never subject to congressional approval because the current law doesn't require it.
In a statement, Paul said, quote, We've learned a lot over the past few years, but one lesson in particular is that no one person should be deemed, quote, dictator in chief.
No one person should have unilateral authority to make decisions for millions of Americans, unquote.
Senator Paul is referring to decisions made by Dr. Fauci regarding the COVID 19 pandemic.
