This is an example of Congress trying to grab power when in fact, they shouldn't have it, the Fed is an independent entity and needs to be left alone to continue its' mission to stabilize the markets and/or the dollar, and keep interest rates reasonable (and/or other critical tasks mandated to the Fed, money supply, etc.).

Just as extremist fringes identify those they must oppose by their commitment to cooperating and forming working majorities to actually achieve those goals voters support.
