The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is unconstitutional, determining that its head must be removable at the will of the president... The court stopped short, though, of eliminating the bureau, as sought by conservatives.
IOW, the Supreme Court is no longer a valid third branch.
It follows that the President has the power to remove the head, decline to name a successor including an acting Director, and abolish the organizaton. Of course, given the recent SCOTUS rulings, someone will challenge those actions and five of the Justices will be tempted to subvert the powers of the Executive and the Congress and rule by fiat.
Hey SunkenCiv. On this one, I think the Supreme Court did the right thing — put the agency under the proper governance of the President. That will certain put the necessary control over this renegade agency.
I’m laughing right now at Elizabeth Warren, who I’m sure is piping mad that her little CHAZ agency was taken away from her. Ha!
