halt the implementation of Richard Cordray as Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director.

Created by H.M. on January 05, 2012

Obama sidestepped Senate approval, and appointed Richard Cordray as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during a break between Senate sessions. . The nomination has been held up while Republicans sought to make reforms to this radical new agency. But this is not a right/left issue. This is an American Constitutional issue. There is no recess, and no excuse for Obama to overturn democracy and our system of checks and balances.
