           By Mr. WESTMORELAND:
       H.R. 3183.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Because the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection 
     (commonly referred to as CFPB) is not a constitutional 
     agency, it is in violation of Article I, Section 7; Article 
     II, Section 2. To return some oversight of this illegal 
     agency back to the People of the United States of America, 
     the Constitutional authority citation is the Preamble of the 
     Constitution and Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3.
