Summary

The Biden Administration, through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), is capping overdraft fees at $5, down from $35, starting Oct. 1, 2025.

The move, targeting “junk fees,” could save U.S. consumers $5 billion annually.

The CFPB suggests banks adopt cost-based fees or offer overdraft credit lines while disclosing interest rates.

Industry groups oppose the rule, and its future is uncertain under a Republican-controlled Congress and the incoming Trump administration.

    Yes, Congress would impeach him without a second thought. Both the Republicans and Democrats would. Every member of congress thats election was funded by any corporation would vote so. The majority of the country would vote to if they had a choice. A, he’s a Democrat, and B he went against the democratic Republic he is supposed to be serving.

    I wasn’t taught lies, you seem to be lying to yourself on how this country is run though. It sounds like you just want a dictatorship

    Note: look what happened in Korea, it would be similar. Notice he didn’t magically have all the power. Impeachment and arrest warrant I believe currently.

      As we saw with Trump, impeach does absolutely nothing.

      I believe US laws are Byzantine enough that a claim that a law was broken would be possible. A claim that a law was broken is the only thing needed to justify an arrest. It then goes to court to see if the law actually was broken.

        Impeach did nothing with Trump because the Senate was held by the Republican party and chose not to have him removed. Both houses have to agree for the removal.

            Yes? What are you trying to say? The votes are public, you can look to see which Republicans voted to have him removed and which didn’t for both removals. 67 votes needed as you said. He was acquitted both times by the Senate. Senstors like Mitt Romney voted for removal both times I believe.

              You claimed Biden would be impeached if he allowed a bank executive to be arrested.

              I said even if he was impeached it wouldn’t matter. Republicans don’t have the 2/3rd majority to dismiss him.

                I also said the Democrats would vote to dismiss him. I doubt anyone would not vote to remove him as he would be clearly ignoring the checks and balances and if Congress allowed him to ignore the Supreme Court, it would mean he congress wouldn’t have the power to balance anything either if they didn’t. Aka a full on dictatorship. Even the skevy Congress members would vote to keep power and order

                  Trump had his minions overrun the capital in an attempt to assassinate the vice president along with key Democrats and Republicans didn’t vote to convict.

                  Democrats absolutely would not vote to convict over a bank executive being charged with a crime and arrested.

                    Except it isn’t a crime, no written law as Congress decided they didn’t want it, so there are no charges, and the courts said it’s unconstitutional… So the arrest was illegal, the detaining is illegal and I’m not sure why it’s even a debate as it would never happen because the president isn’t dumb enough to do that.

                    Also if they didn’t vote to remove him the U.S. populous should forcibly remove him, for overthrowing a democracy.
