<p>US Congressman Warren Davidson has officially <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/sec-slams-bittrex-over-unregistered-securities-exchange-gary-gensler-to-get-fired-by-congress/">introduced</a> legislation to remove SEC Chair Gary Gensler, citing Gensler&#8217;s alleged abuse of power and failure to protect investors as the basis for the regulator&#8217;s restructuring. The move comes after Gensler&#8217;s highly publicized congressional hearing, which brought to light the SEC chair&#8217;s misguided crypto regulation.</p>

<p>The bill calls for a complete replacement of the role of chairman with an Executive Director position, who will <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/sec-slams-bittrex-over-unregistered-securities-exchange-gary-gensler-to-get-fired-by-congress/">report</a> directly to the board and bar former SEC chairs from being considered for the role. Davidson has been vocal about his intention to introduce the legislation, stating that it is necessary to &#8220;correct a long series of abuses&#8221; by Gensler as chairman.</p>

<p>Gensler has been the SEC Chair amidst some of the largest fraud cases the industry has seen. Additionally, he has been <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/sec-drops-new-crypto-bombshell-omg-dash-and-algo-named-among-unregistered-securities/">criticized</a> for championing unclear regulatory action and prioritizing enforcement over proper discourse and collaboration. Davidson&#8217;s move to introduce the legislation is aimed at holding Gensler and the SEC accountable for their actions and ensuring investor protection.</p>
