English Told To Pack Up Her Shit And Vacate Her Office At CFPB

[Avatar4321]

Good. The idea that the president doesn't have the right to have control over the executive branch is ludicrous

 

[leftwinger]

Where are you getting these numbers from?

$750B was an Estimate of annual FED over-spending. It has been as high at $1.4T-$1.6T recently.

Annually adding to the $20T debt. SS money is not put away in a lockbox. Next crash will be brutal. GOVT waste and Pensions should be cut ahead of time. ~10% of spending is into GOVT pension slush fund. Let them go to 401K or to SS only, same as private. /

 

[depotoo]

For the departing director to have been able to appoint her she would have had to be deputy director for at least 90 days prior to that appointment. She was appointed deputy director only a few days before his resignation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) today announced that Leandra English has been officially named deputy director of the agency. English, who had been most recently serving as the agency’s chief of staff, has previously held key leadership positions at the CFPB, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of Personnel Management. David Silberman, who had been serving as acting deputy director, will continue in his role as associate director of the Research, Markets, and Regulations division.

LOL, The outgoing director of the CFPB throws a hand grenade at the White House, the Donald picks up the hand grenade, pulls the pin and throws it back.

Next step, dismantle the CFPB.

The President doesn't have the power to "dismantle" federal agencies created by statute.

From Harvard when the agency was created-

Thus, when the President exer- cises his appointment power every five years, it will have a more powerful impact on the shape of the Bureau than if the Bureau had a multimember board
https://harvardlawreview.org/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/vol12408_recentlegislation.pdf

Thus the executive branch has control over the appointment of its director. When the director resigned, it then became under the President s authority to appoint a new director, acting or not. The director, if absent for short periods of time, could relegate his duties to someone to act in his behalf- not due to resignation.

That is a question for the courts to answer, and I don't think you should be so confident that they'll see it that way.

There's no question that Trump has the power to appoint the director - with confirmation by the Senate, of course - but the question of who becomes acting director in the interim is not so clear.

Oh, so you were talking about the government in general, not the CFPB.

Did you know that the CFPB is revenue-neutral?

The President doesn't have the power to "dismantle" federal agencies created by statute.

Nobody said or implied that the President had any such authority.

...but thanks for "this is how you attempt to put words into other peoples mouths" demonstration.

So who do you expect will "dismantle" it, then?

Step 1. Executive action to limit its scope of activity, staffing levels and expenditures.
Step 2. Legislative repeal.

Next question....

I don't think you'll find much support in Congress to repeal Dodd-Frank.

Here's your second lesson in civics for today....

They don't need to repeal Dodd-Frank to get rid of the CFPB, Congress can and often does introduce and pass legislation that alters existing legislation and the Republicrat Congress Critters are nearly unanimous in their opposition to the CFPB; last time I checked they held the majority in both houses along with a President that isn't fond of the CFPB either.

Are you sure about that?

How come the Senate hasn't brought the "CHOICE" act up yet, then?

 

[depotoo]

Care to share it? Considering that Harvard seemed to agree, long before this came up. And Obama appointed Cordray, seeing as CFPB is part of the executive branch..

The Senate has a filibuster mechanism, the HoR doesn't and a full blown repeal of Dodd-Frank wouldn't get past a filibuster, however components, like eliminating the CFPB can since it can be attached to other legislation and traded for items that are higher on the Democrats priority list, like for example DACA protections.

Siding with Trump, judge rules Mick Mulvaney to remain interim CFPB head

"At one point during Tuesday's court session, Gupta raised the possibility that English could face punitive action from Mulvaney for challenging his leadership of the agency"

How could she face punitive actions if she was kicked out of the building?
Also, she is still listed as the Deputy Director...
Bureau Structure | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Would you like more? How about you ask the OP for a link to where the judge kicked her out of the building. Oh wait, you partisan hacks never go after your own kind, never mind.

Do you spell office differently than I do?
I thought I said OFFICE....dumbass.

It is way too early to be drunk...or did you miss this part of your link...Evacuate the Premises

Again....... I SAID OFFICE.
WHAT PART OF THAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND!???

You want to argue with the link... feel free. I said office.

Thanks for your permission, but if you could read you would see that my first post was about the link and not your words. But somehow that was too much for you to comprehend. But then again anyone that would actually go to and read the GWP cannot have a reading level over the 3rd grade.

I had over a 3rd grade reading level when I was 5 yrs old.
The way you keep putting words in my mouth I'd say your level is roughly 6th grade level.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

He will boot her out forthwith. No reason to keep her.

Scrape the infection from the bone wherever found.

Actually, he cannot fire her. She is not a political appointee, she is a federal employee and cannot be given "the boot" just because of her political affiliation.

She can be fired for being an idiot.

Get the fuck out, bitch!!! Court Rules with POTUS TRUMP – Tells Far Left Hack to Clear Contents of Her Office into Box and Evacuate the Premises

Court Rules with POTUS TRUMP – Tells Far Left Hack to Clear Contents of Her Office into Box and Evacuate the Premises
by Jim Hoft 176 Comments

Recent Trump appointee ruled today in favor of President Trump and rejected a lawsuit from an official who claims that she, and not President Trump appointee Mick Mulvaney, is the rightful director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia refused to grant Leandra English a restraining order to bar Mulvaney from serving as the CFPB’s acting director.


English, a committed leftist, sued the Trump administration to lead the far left CFPB bureaucracy. She did not realize Donald Trump won the election in 2016.

Judge Kelly had a different opinion.

​

The CFPB is nothing more than a money laundering scheme to rob banks of cash and turn it over to leftist groups like Planned-Parenthood.

that's what appeals courts are for you insane bigot.

not that you understand current events or how our government and court systems work.

Obviously you don't.
Nasty assed bitch.
