Rand Paul Will Block Yellen’s Nomination Unless the Senate Votes on Auditing the Federal Reserve

"Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) Tuesday that he will move to block Dr. Janet Yellen’s nomination as the next Federal Reserve Chair unless the Senate votes on his legislation which allows the Fed to be audited

...The bill in question, the “Federal Reserve Transparency Act,” would allow the Government Accountability Office to audit the Federal Reserve.

“The American people have a right to know what this institution is doing with the nation’s money supply. The Federal Reserve does not need prolonged secrecy—it needs to be audited, and my bipartisan Federal Reserve Transparency Act will do just that,” Sen. Paul said in a statement Tuesday."
