confirmation by naming a nominee t6 a job when the Senate is oif a break through a process known as a recess appointment But Obama went further by squeezing in his appointment during a break between rapid Senate sessions this week an unusual move that the GOP called an arrogant power grab The White House said what the Senate was doing gaveling in and out of session every few days solely to avoid being in recess was a sham aides said the president would not be stopped by a legislative gimmick even though it was Senate Democrats who began the "practice to halt President George appointments Congress refuses to act and as a result hurts our economy and puts people at risk I have an obligation as president to do what I can without Obama said from Ohio a state vital to re-election bid Consumer groups hailed decision the US Chamber of Commerce balked and warned it was so legally shaky that the consumer work may be compromised he would represent the crunched middle class better than any of the Republicans he would face The Cordray appointment fits both Only with a director in place can the consumer bureau keep mortgage companies payday lenders debt collectors and others from harming consumers Obama said Speaking from a high school in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights Obama said Republicans were only blocking Cordray because they wanted to water down consumer protections Republican senators have called the consumer bureau too powerful and unaccountable and held off on bid as a means to get changes Cordray essentially starts right away although his nomination will become official later in the week the White House said He is expected to serve until at least the end of 2013 which is the end of the next session In plowing ahead the White House had to contend with some uncomfortable history Just last year a lawyer from Justice Department said the view was that recess appointments could only come during legislative breaks of more than three days That match up with what Obama did with Cordray since the Senate was technically just in sessiop on Tuesday The response from Republicans was blistering The top Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Obama had circumvented the American and endangered the systems of checks and balances Republican Sen Orrin Hatch of Utah called it a grave decision by this heavy-handed autocratic White And House Speaker John Boehner R-Ohio said: clear the president would rather trample our system of separation of powers than work with Republicans to move the country forward This action goes beyond the authority and I expect the courts will find the appointment to be Mitt Romney a leading Republican presidential candidate accused Obama of displaying politics at its It was not immediately clear who might file a suit on the matter Most likely a private party regulated by the consumer agency would have the legal standing More than a standoff over one significant appointment the fight speaks to the heart of a presidential campaign under way Obama is presiding over a troubled but improving economy To try to win over voters he is employing two strategies: in-your-face politics against a Congress held in low public regard and a campaign pitch that LOCAL FORECAST today: Partly sunny in the morning then bacaming partly cloudy Highs in the mid-30s Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph Tonight

the most stringent abortion limit has taken responsibility for some confusion over proposed changes to the measure that caused hearings on the bill to be suspended last month 1 A Dec 15 letter written by state Rep Lynn Wachtmann sheds new light on the sudden hold that was put on the divisive legislation dubbed the The measure cleared the Ohio House June Backers had believed it was headed toward passage in the Senate before the holiday break In the letter obtained by the Associated Press Wachtmann told the leader that with his office resulted in the revisions reaching only the vice chairman of the health committee and not the chairman who was conducting the hearings would like to take full responsibility for the confusion that has recently ensued with respect to the amendments offered for this bill and I apologize for any wrote Wachtmann a Napoleon Republican Senate President Tom Niehaus halted hearings on the bill on the last scheduled day of the 2011 legislative session saying lawmakers needed more time to weigh the roughly 20 amendments proposed by bill supporters Niehaus a New Richmond Republican had said the changes to the bill were creating uncertainty about an already contentious issue The heartbeat bill would outlaw abortions at the first detectable fetal heartbeat sometimes as early as six weeks into pregnancy Supporters hope to provoke a legal challenge and overturn the US Supreme 1973 Roe Wade ruling panies the consumer protection bureau can supervise only non-bank companies it defines as in their markets In June the agency sought public comments on a proposal to supervise major debt collectors credit reporting bureaus check cashers issuers of prepaid debt cards and debt-relief companies The comment period has ended and the agency is reviewing the responses not clear how long the review will take Once the comments have been reviewed the proposal must be revised subjected to further public comment and then approved by the White House This could take months or years If the proposal is approved it will be able to send inspectors to credit bureaus and others that meet the definition a guide to the powers that the CFPB now holds over different categories of companies: Non-bank mortgage lenders and servicers: These companies have been subject to existing laws and rules but the agency was unable to supervise them without a permanent director With appointment the CFPB can have officials monitor mortgage lenders and servicers That might discourage any from using to foreclose on borrowers without doing the required paperwork That practice became widespread over the past decade and no federal agency was responsible for cracking 'down Payday lenders: Companies that make shortterm loans to borrowers with weak credit already are governed
