his nomination has my unqualified support. and finally, there is a letter from mike mcconnell, in which he also offers his strongest possible support. as a 44 year veteran serving the nation as a member of the intelligence community, i have many opportunities to work with professionals of the department of justice. this was particularly true when serving as the director of national security and as the director of the national intelligence. during those years of service i never met or served with a more accomplished or dedicated professional than matt olsen. he understands the icy, its process and procedure and has served with distinction to read well, i can go on and on and i have many pages here. i'm not going to do it. suffice it to say i believe that we have an extraordinarily qualified professional, which can step into the leadership of nctc, and at this very potentially balk period provided with the leadership, it really does deserve a marriage. so, with that, mr. vice chairman, may i ask you to meet your remarks? >> than

so i am proud to nominate richard cordray to this post.e have been recently reminded why this job is going to be so important. there is an army of lobbyists and lawyers right now working to water down the protections and the reforms that we passed. they have already spent tens of millions of dollars this year to try and weaken the laws that are designed to protect consumers. they have allies in congress who are trying to undo the progress that we have made. we're not going to let that happen. the fact is the financial crisis and the recession were not the result of normal economic cycles or just a run of bad luck, they were abuses. there was a lack of smart regulations. we want to make sure it doesn't happen again. we will not go back to the status quo where consumers can count on the protections they deserved and we will not go back to the time where the economy was subject to a crisis. that's why the reform matters and the bureau matters. we will fight any efforts to repeal or undermine the important changes that we passed, and we will s

he has the absolute responsibility for their nomination, good or bad. he nominates. indeed, the rationale for the structure of the appointments clause dates back to federalist number 76 which alexander hamilton explained -- quote -- "the sole and undivided responsibility of one man will naturally beget a livelier sense of duty and a more exact regard to reputation. he will on this account feel himself under stronger be obligations and more interested with the requisite to be fulfilled and to prefer with impartiality the persons who may have the fairest pretensions to them." close quote. pretty effective language. dilution of the president's sole responsibility for nomination and appointment is inconsistent with constitutional principles, given that constitutional concerns were raised by these scholars, it was at least arguable that we had proceeded -- had we proceeded with the original proposal, a judge could find that director mueller's appointment and term of service to be unconstitutional. if it were to be challenged by someone in court, and that was possible. par
