Talk:Financial Stability Oversight Council

Voting Members

Added a chart of the voting members. Also shows the political orientation. A SEC Commissioner was pretty upset about what that means. See: FSOC has substantial authority. With the strength of the Chair being a cabinet position (expected to be extremely aligned with the President, terminable at will), and given the very strong majority of voters, may see a rise in FSOC instigated rule making? I'd expect every forward move however to be legally challenged to the max. They will have to rely on explicitly spelled out statutory authority in DFA. Once however they establish momentum...? The opening test seems to be Money Market reform.Rick (talk) 01:29, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• Are all the voting members really all Democrats, or is this just an assumption as they aer appointees from Obama? Tom Ruen (talk) 11:02, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
• I changed the party designations to actual parties listed under each member, if known. None are clearly republicans. Tom Ruen (talk) 11:08, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

• Proposal: Do away presto with the column titled "Party" from the list of members. The appellation would only be valid if they are members or candidates of a political party, a status, of course, that should be amply sourced. If the purpose was to indicate which party appointed them, then, again, that could be misleading: there have been and can be nominations across the aisle. -The Gnome (talk) 16:45, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

Replaced "party" with "year" of assuming office, a securely verifiable, neutral information. -The Gnome (talk) 13:15, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
