Can we call this the February Uprising? It’s like the country collectively got tired of Trump’s BS!

This'll get obliterated at the Supreme Court. Love or hate the CFPB, you can't have a nominally executive office whose leadership aren't fully answerable to the executive.
-
In fact, we can and do have such offices. That's exactly what independent agencies are – agencies that are independent of presidential control to some degree. There are a number of them aside from CFPB.
-
I assume you're talking about agencies that include Senate confirmed positions. But the CFPB isn't that. On its face, the law says that whoever is No. 2 becomes No. 1 when No. 1 leaves. Essentially, it lets No. 1 pick his/her successor. That's crazy.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the CFPB only authorize the Deputy Director (English) to become *Acting* Director temporarily during a vacancy until someone is nominated and confirmed by the Senate to become the Director?
-
So, my reading of it is that it doesn't let "No. 1" pick his/her permanent successor, only the person to temporarily fill the role should it become vacant. Trump is free to nominate Mulvaney to be made Director thru the normal advice/consent process.
-
It doesn't say that explicitly, but functionally that's what happens. And that's literally the argument that Elizabeth Warren, who founded the agency, has made. I actually like what the CFPB is doing, I just don't see how this structure makes sense constitutionally.
