What the document says

“Congress should abolish the CFPB and reverse”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 839

The full sentence asks Congress to abolish the bureau and reverse section 1061 of Dodd-Frank, returning the consumer protection function to banking regulators and the Federal Trade Commission. The part calls the bureau highly politicized, damaging, utterly unaccountable and unconstitutional, and says that provided the Supreme Court affirms a Fifth Circuit holding then pending, the next President should order the immediate dissolution of the agency, pull down its rules and guidance and return its staff to their prior agencies.

That sentence, in plain words

Congress should close this agency down.

What this is about

One agency polices banks and lenders for unfair treatment of customers. The book says it answers to no one. It says Congress should close it.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
