What language in the exec order allows him to fire mel

[trunkmonk]

that would be great, Mel is useless and it just trying to hide on a government payroll the best I can see. Mel didnt care about illegal sweep, or that it was making the very thing he was supposed to protect against weaker and more prone to taxpayer burden, or else it would have been stopped. The swamp would be a lot lower if he and a handful of others were gone.

Can you link to the Executive Order

Does it say that as of Monday Trump can fire the head of Consumer and FHFA?

Best I can see 85% of the EO's from trump are to review and report back and I assume this is the same but frankly did not know it got to the issue of a director who has some autonomy

While not being able to be fired is a bummer - to give this power to the PRESIDENT is banana republic style. In the past the various such agencies had 5 or 7 person leadership councils who did the hire and fire
