Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Monday that President Donald Trump ought to fire Leandra English, who claims to be the lawful acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
"The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a rogue, unconstitutional agency. Leandra English's lawsuit to install herself as acting director against the president's explicit direction is just the latest lawless action by the CFPB," Cotton tweeted.
"She doesn't have a legal leg to stand on, as her own general counsel has conceded and the Department of Justice has concluded. The president should fire her immediately and anyone who disobeys Director Mulvaney's orders should be fired summarily. The Constitution and the law must prevail against the supposed resistance."

The whole thing should be abolished along with Dodd Frank. Get on with it
Exactly. It should be abolished and the POTUS CAN do that, too! Hope Mulvaney and Trump reach an agreement on it sooner than later.
