McCain Flubs and Accidentally Calls for the FEC Chair to Resign

September 19, 2008 at 10:43 AM


John McCain revised his call to "fire" the SEC chairman, Chris Cox. This time, he said Cox should "resign" after ABC News pointed out that the President cannot "fire" the SEC chair, who heads an independent commission.

In Wisconsin this morning, McCain confused the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), which "enforces the federal securities laws and regulates the securities industry/stock market," with the FEC (Federal Election Commission) that oversees elections.

The current chair of the FEC is David F. McGahn II, who probably found himself asking this morning, "What did I do?"
