The Dodd-Frank Act is overseen by whom?

The Dodd-Frank Act is overseen by whom?

• A. A director who is appointed by the President
• B. A five-member board elected by Congress
• C. The Federal Reserve Board
• D. The Supreme Court

Answer: (A)

The Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and its leadership is a single director appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. This setup provides direct presidential accountability and Senate oversight for consumer financial protection. The bureau operates independently of the Federal Reserve Board, is not overseen by the Supreme Court, and is not run by a five-member Congressional-elected board. A single presidentially appointed director best reflects how this agency is structured and supervised.
