Biden asks Congress to give FDIC more authority to fine bankers from failed banks, clawback their executive pay, and bar them from the industry.
"No one is above the law," Biden said in the statement, "and strengthening accountability is an important deterrent to prevent mismanagement in the future."
The current law "limits the administration’s authority to hold executives responsible," he said.
"The President urges Congress to expand the FDIC’s authorities to expressly cover cases like this" the White House statement said, citing Becker's stock sales.
