SEC Chair
As I understand it, by law Trump cannot replace the SEC chair for a few more years. When that happens, the net effect will probably still be small since most of that job is determined by Congress.
Congress is almost completely red. So of course they are going to do whatever Trump wants them to do and pump whatever laws and regulations (or lack thereof) that he wants in place. Includes replacing SEC head if they find some ancient provision that lets them get away with it.
Is that so? I thought that US SEC chair is being nominated by the US President, so it's up to Trump on who he wants to nominate.
But it is still not an assurance as it will have to go to the Senate for confirmation. So there will be hearings and questions on the nominee and see if he or she is fit to be the next US chairman. I'm not sure though if GOP has control of the Senate for now because if they have, then it's going to be smooth sailing as the nominee could easily pass as the President and his party has fully control of the Senate.
