The Biden administration has moved quickly on its promise to take a more aggressive approach to pursuing actions against consumer financial services companies. Though the administration has implemented some concrete policy changes in that direction, the most consequential action to date has been its announcement of nominees supporting an aggressive enforcement agenda.
President Biden’s ability to alter the enforcement landscape was accelerated by a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year, that the Dodd-Frank Act provision insulating the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from political control did not comport with the separation-of-powers principles embedded in the Constitution. The ruling meant the president could remove the director for any reason, not just for cause, and President Biden did just that within hours of taking office. He then nominated Rohit Chopra, currently a commissioner
As the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill was signed into law this week, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to promote the bill and its benefits to Americans. Harris is to visit Denver, Colorado, next week to promote the relief package.
Harris’s office announced that the vice president would be traveling to Denver, Colorado, on March 16. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff will be joining Harris on the visit, but any further details have yet to be disclosed. The visit by Harris and Emhoff will be part of the administration’s push to promote the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill that Biden signed into law Thursday. Biden will also be traveling around the country to promote the newly-signed legislation, accompanied by first lady Dr. Jill Biden and Cabinet secretaries.
Senate confirmations of Joe Biden’s cabinet nominees are still underway and this week brought more nominees to be confirmed. After a long wait, the Senate has confirmed Merrick Garland for Attorney General.
Garland was confirmed by the Senate this week on a bipartisan vote of 70-30, placing him in a post to lead the government agency that was heavily politicized by now-former President Donald Trump during his term. Garland’s nomination for DOJ attorney general was seen by many as retribution for having his Supreme Court confirmation hearing back in 2016 blocked by then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
At that time, McConnell and the GOP-controlled Senate set the precedent that no Supreme Court nominees would receive a hearing in an election year, a precedent that was easily broken in 2020 when the Senate sped through the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
