Lux... I believe the Chairman of the SEC is appointed by the President so he can be fired by the President.
Let's not be clouding the FUD with facts.
Obama said he'd go further than that and fire everyone in Washington. Everyone. He didn't qualify if it were the guy HE hired or not. I guess that means he would fire himself ? Obama's statement makes even less sense given that the SEC is a non-partisan agency with no more than 3 members from any one political party .
I guess he means he would fire Luis Aguiar (Democrat) and Elisse Walter (Democrat) for not doing thier jobs (along with the 3 Republican chairmen )???
Maybe everyone is just talking out their clueless respective asses.
