Consumers advocates want a permanent CFPB director named.  From the story:

“The president should nominate and the Senate should confirm a qualified director of the bureau as soon as possible,” Americans for Financial Reform said in a report released Friday. The group cited Ms. Warren as “certainly one potential nominee” who was well qualified.

Several other names were floated last summer, including Michael Barr, an assistant Treasury secretary; Allen Fishbein, an official at the Federal Reserve who has focused on consumer issues; and Ellen Seidman, a former director of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Although the director’s job remains open, the bureau has filled other important positions on its 100-person plus roster.
