Last week, at their national convention in Cleveland, the Republicans issued their 2016 campaign platform, which featured some particularly sharp rhetoric towards the CFPB. The GOP called for either getting rid of the agency in the broader context of repealing and replacing the Dodd-Frank Act, or at least altering the bureau’s leadership structure and its funding mechanism. If they can’t abolish the CFPB outright, the Republicans want to replace the current single directorship with a bipartisan commission and subject the bureau to the congressional appropriations process in lieu of its funding from the Federal Reserve. “The worst of Dodd-Frank is the CFPB, deliberately designed to be a rogue agency,” the platform stated.
