Leandra English, who was tapped by former Director Richard Cordray to be the acting director, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Trump and Mulvaney, whom the president nominated to be CFPB's interim leader.
The office of the CFPB’s head council is expected to challenge her suit, claiming Trump has the authority to override the bureau’s line of succession, Reuters reported Sunday night.
English’s complaint claims that she is the rightful acting director of the CFPB, and that the court should bar Mulvaney from taking the post.

Good luck with that!
Needs to empty out the government desk they were using.
what a maroon
ANything to obstruct. That is what THEY (the swamp) are all about.
Well...I would say he just eliminated HIS job....
CFPB is Democrat slush money ATM. They panic because Trump is going to shut it down
OOPS....HER job
Remember when the president could hire and fire people without causing a constitutional crisis? Liberals think anything Trump does is illegal because they don’t like him.
Federal marshals need to be called in to arrest her.
Fire this person for cause-insubordination. Since this is an appointee/mgr position, they can sue out of their own pocket.
Of course, the theme continues. The Deep State answers to nobody, least of all our elected officials. How dare the Trump exercise any authority, without President Ninth Circuit approving of it.
Must be...why else would Dems be freaking out over a federal agency most of us have never heard of before?
Some people belong in prison

Agency heads do not get to name their successor.
Only if you are democrat.
Rat ba*tard liberal Democrats think they are a law unto themselves.
You never know until you pull down its britches and look.
