The White House has dismissed two Democratic members of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka. Harper's term was not set to expire until 2027. Following these firings, Kyle Hauptman, the only remaining board member, is a Republican. This action has raised concerns about the president's ability to remove independent board members at will, suggesting potential implications for other independent agencies, including the Federal Reserve. Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the firings as an attack on consumers and an attempt to undermine independent agencies.

President Trump just fired two board members at the National Credit Union Administration in his latest attack on consumers. Yet another attempt by Trump to skirt the rule of law, undermine independent agencies, and illegally purge the government of those working for Americans.

The White House fired both Todd Harper and fellow NCUA Board Member Tanya Otsuka, both Dems. This leaves Kyle Hauptman, a Republican, as the sole member. If the president can remove independent board member at will, it does seem to suggest he can do same at the Federal Reserve https://t.co/RFFY53BhxK
