What will Cordray be able to do legally?

[francoHFW]

Obama's bringing attention to total Pub obstruction since 2/2010- obstruction of solutions and popular programs no less. Broken promises my butt.

The question is....Cordray is now in charge

What are Republicans going to do about it other than whimper and whine?

it will be taken to court..then we will watch you Democrats-liberals-lefties whine and stomp your feet about how they are doing this because the Obama..............IS BLACK

Go ahead...take it to court

You are playing into Obamas hands. Let Obama highlight the Congressional pettiness while Republicans whine "That's not fair"

The American people will eat it up.....especially in an election year

that's all that matters to you lefties isn't it...FORGET the rest of the people and the country. if Obama can win by division, so be it..and the hell with what it will cost.

some of you are so petty

 

[francoHFW]

LOL- petty about little things like lockstep bought off Pubs blocking EVERYTHING except for 5 months, ruining the country and the world just to get Obama. You dupes are incredible...

 

[Quantum Windbag]

It's an abuse of power, to obstruct, on the part of bought off Pubs which will be lawfully judged by the courts. This IS a recess, and the CFPB will be popular except for the brainwashed.

The Senate is in session every 3 days, which is less time than the DOJ says a recess has to be in order to invoke the recess appointment clause of the Constitution. In other words, Obama ignored the advice of his lawyers.

Again.

According to Section 1011 of the law he is not in charge until the Senate confirms him.

The Director shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.

 

[jillian]

The Dodd-Frank law says the director must be confirmed by the senate in order to wield his special powers against non-banks.

What will Cordray be able to do without senate confirmation?

How long will the courts be tied up contesting whether or not his actions were legal since he was not confirmed in accordance with the law?

Will the CFPB be helpful while under this shadow?

cool... another troll thread from the troll o/p

Oooh, Jillian makes a post with a morsel of substance. Too bad the meager morsel has nothing to do with the OP.

I was specifically NOT talking about recess appointment aspect of Obama installing Cordray as director of the CFDP. But thank you for playing.

 

[percysunshine]

Since the Democrat written law clearly states that this specific appointee has no authority if not confirmed by the Senate (It stays with Timmy at the Treasury).......

He will still get paid and Obama can subtract 1 from the 2,000,000 people who have lost their employment in his term of office.

We only need 1,999,999 more idle Czars to break even.

Ever read the Constitution? Specifically, Article 2 Section 2, here is what it says.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

I might be confused, but I don't think any of the vacancies Obama is filling occurred during a recess, can you explain why he is trying to fill them at all given that the language clearly states that is the only time he has that power?

The question is....Cordray is now in charge

Well, any action taken can be challenged in court because he lacks the authority under the act to perform his duties. The act requires confirmation, there is no recess, as the Democrats won't permit one, so he has no more authority to act than you do. And anything he tries to do will be so tangled up in lawsuits so very quickly he probably won't push it.

 

[Grandma]

Oh, dear, it looks like some people don't understand what a recess is. The Senate officially voted on going into recess from December 17 until January 23. Tha mean they are currently in recess. That a few senators come in every few days and wander around playing pro-forma does not mean that the recess has ended.

The Senate is in recess. The appointment will stand.

Something needed to be done, the Repugs are only blocking the appointment under bullshit grounds because major companies in the financial industry pay these politicians off to block any measures at regulation and to support all measures of deregulation. Lack of regulation and oversight is what caused the financial crisis in the first place.

 

[Claudette]

Well, thats what you get when you recess appoint someone when there is no recess.

Republicans are, once again, playing games.

Scott Brown Backs Obama Recess Appointment Of Consumer Finance Watchdog Richard Cordray

To stop him from using the constitutional option of a recess appointment while the Senate was adjourned, they've [Republicans] been holding "pro forma" sessions where no business is done, but the chamber is technically working.

Oh well. You want to play, GOP, let's play. A recess appointment is what you get when you refuse to even let a nominee get an up or down vote. That's right. The Senate GOP won't even allow Cordray an up or down vote. It doesn't really matter who gets nominated. Republicans jut don't want the agency to exist. No wonder Congress is so unpopular. Nominees to agencies that were created and signed into law are left on the sidelines because one side hates the POTUS.

The question here ... my question ... is what will Cordray be able to do with just a recess appointment? Will he have any legal ground to regulate the payday loan industry for instance?

Whether the Senate was legally in recess or not, the law specifically says that the director has to be confirmed by the Senate. This position carries with it some extraordinary powers, and extraordinary access to funds. Confirmation - not appointment - was required by law.

So what can Cordray legally do beyond the limited functions the agency has carried out since it officially opened last year?

Bingo. It just a play by Barry to turn all against Congress.

Congress has lower approval rating than he does so its easy to blame them for everything. The GOP members of Congress of course. Nothing is ever Barrys fault doncha know??

Nope. There were plenty of Regs. They just weren't being followed.

BTW your a dumb fucking retard.

 

[rightwinger]

Republicans wanted to play politics with the nomination so now Obama is playing politics

The ball is now in the Republicans court.....why don't they take it to the people andexplain why the appointment should be invalid?

With the popularity of Congressional bickering, I'm sure the people will want to hear

lol, Republicans have said something about it...now we'll see if it goes to the courts.
which it looks like it might.

Well instead of embarrassing themselves as they go to court....they could always just vote on it

 

[rightwinger]

Obama is setting the tone for his second term

If Congress will not do anything, he will move forward without them. If Congressional Republicans want to take it to the courts......go ahead

Obama will take it to the people as yet another example of an obstructionist congress

In the long run, let's see who wins
