Nothing in this Act shall limit the authority of the Secretary or the Federal Reserve
US Senate Committee on Banking, Housiing and Urban Affairs ^ | Oct 02, 2008 | Dodd and Shelby

Posted on 10/02/2008 12:46:37 PM PDT by blueyon

Section 135. Preservation of Authority. Clarifies that nothing in this Act shall limit the authority of the Secretary or the Federal Reserve under any other provision of law. Section 136. Temporary Increase in Deposit and Share Insurance Coverage. Raises the FDIC and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund deposit insurance limits from $100,000 per account to $250,000 until December 31, 2009. Temporarily raises the borrowing limits at the Treasury for the FDIC and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.

TOPICS: Government
KEYWORDS: bailout
So if I am reading this correctly, it states that all previous laws in regards to the Secretary or the Federal Reserve are DONE AWAY WITH. Also, I have not heard or seen on any news source that the change in FDIC insurance is ONLY UNTIL DEC 2009.

Please go to the web site and on the left hand side SHARE YOUR OPINIONS with our wonderful Senate who...well I will not type what I feel.

Everybody needs to review the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, and then call their legislators and tell them

NO BAILOUT!

It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy. I love the Republic. The powers you give me I will lay down when this crisis has been abated!

I'm not a lawyer, but it looks like section 135 is just saying that the Sec. of Treasury or the Federal Reserve are not subjected to new limitations of powers given by other laws. Basically it says "the old rules still apply".

You're reading it wrong.

All it says is that this particular act doesn't place new restrictions on previous laws.

Real change is all you’ll have left in your pockets after Obama gets through taxing you.

It’s because they’re the one’s controlling this process- kill the bankers power, and you kill this bill (and their stranglehold over Congress-and weaking of their thralldom over the US people)!
