But the bill for the relatively limited impact of the financial sector, and selected according to Obama in charge of candidates for the new regulatory body, and the existing regulatory bodies in the next few years to implement and enact new legislation, the bill's influence may be further weakened.
"Restore financial stability in the United States Bill" (Restoring American Financial Stability Act, RAFSA) did not provide a complete blueprint, outlined the scope of financial reform.
