Members of the United States House of Representatives are pushing for ways to remove Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler from his position, but the legality may be more complicated than a single piece of legislation.

On June 12, Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson introduced the SEC Stabilization Act with the expressed intention of firing Gensler. The SEC chair has served as head of the commission since being sworn into office in April 2021, with a term expected to end in 2026.
