House clears bill to restructure CFPB, Obama threatens veto

The House of Representatives passed a bill late Thursday night 241-173 to restructure the newly launched Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and provide more power to the agency's oversight committee.

Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wisc.) introduced The Consumer Financial Protection Safety and Soundness Improvement Act of 2011, or H.R. 1315, which would establish a bi-partisan five-member commission to carry out the duties of the agency instead of a director.
