Senate Banking Committee Members Rattling Political Swords on Appointments

Democrats on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs continue to press the Republican controlled Committee to approve the backlog of President Obama's nominees. The panel's Democrat members note that none of the 16 pending nominees were approved in 2015. This point was countered by Chairman Shelby who has publicly stated that the panel will not move any nominations until the President appoints a Vice Chairman for Supervision at the Federal Reserve.
