These people should have been replaced already.

The text of the law and precedent pretty clearly shows the president has the authority to appoint temporary heads under the FVRA even if an alternative succession clause exists in the agency.
Not sure what Corbray hopes to accomplish

Fun to see Democrats lying through their teeth on this one. Its pretty cut and dry fortunately. Trump has the final authority here unless a rando court decides to practice judicial activism

So "blatant" that it was existing since 6.5 years...
Your politics are sellouts and Trump & several heads in your "white house" are billionaires...
Everything seems fine. General Trump 2024 btw desserve it

It is illegal for Congress to create an agency and appropriate it money directly from the FED in perpetuity.

That it has existed for 6.5 years (which I guess you consider a long time?) has no bearing on the argument against it.

As I have said before, I am all for consumer protection - but not at the cost of the Constitution and preceding laws.

I'm not some Trump lunatic so I don't really know where you're going with this. He was one of, if not the, worst candidate on the GOP stage. More than 75% of the stuff he says is nonsense. That still doesn't make the CFPB's governing structure legal.

There should be a CFPB, but it should be structured and executed like any other federal agency because that is how the government is supposed to work in this country. The federal alphabet soup has run amok.

I always have to laugh at originalists when it comes to the constitution. I want to create a time machine just so i can hypothetically present modern america to the founding fathers. My guess is they'd put in provisions for machine guns, massive corporate lobbying, immigration, and many other subjects if they had an idea that they'd come to exist. Then again they'd prob just be stuck on the fact that we let blacks free and have an aneurysm.

The moment that the government gets control over the agency they will begin to dismantle it, it was made independent for a reason, trump is one of the people it is supposed to protect you from.

Your republican congress majority let it live for years, that CFPB is the only thing protecting not wealthy americans.
Like Obamacare, trump want to destroy it and replace it with ... Nothing, or a smokescreen.
State becoming weakier and giants corps stronger, again, till it's irreversible

They didn't put in any sort of provisions for anything and I doubt that they would've. It was purposefully written as it was to stand the test of time. Giving people rights and putting strict limits on the executive and legislative branches. These limits just got degraded over time into what we have now.



I understand that but it just isn't legal. Congress isn't allowed to create independent bureaucracies that answer to no one and get direct deposits from the FED every year.



My republican majority? I despise most republicans and most democrats in DC. They are all for expanding the big government and giving handouts to their donors and voters. The entire city of DC sickens me.

By state I assume you mean the federal government, because I actually want states to have more power. But the federal government is weak? It is the largest landowner in the world. It is the largest employer in the world. It has intimate control of the entire worlds money supply. Weak? Get the fuck outta here.

I think we could make giant corporations play nice by actually enforcing the rules we have on the books for them and making them actually pay their taxes. Small businesses and millionaires are being destroyed by the government for the benefit of big businesses and billionaires.

When i said republican majority it was "your country republican majority".
And yes, your central governement is weak compared to the powers of lobbies, we have proofs of it every single day, with your single payer healthcare impossible to do because pharma lobbies addiction & fda diabet, as example, should i list all the crap ? So yep it's weak, something is broken.



yes thats a problem, but i doubt that states, taken individually, will have more power against it.
