Bill 118 H.Res. 1574 is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress that calls for the immediate removal of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg from his position. The bill argues that Gruenberg has failed to effectively carry out his duties and responsibilities as chairman of the FDIC, which is responsible for insuring deposits in banks and thrift institutions.

The bill highlights concerns about Gruenberg's leadership and decision-making, citing instances where the FDIC has been slow to respond to financial crises and has not adequately protected the interests of depositors. Supporters of the bill argue that Gruenberg's removal is necessary to restore confidence in the FDIC and ensure the stability of the banking system.

Opponents of the bill, however, argue that Gruenberg has been an effective leader and that his removal would disrupt the operations of the FDIC. They point to Gruenberg's experience and expertise in financial regulation as reasons to retain him as chairman. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 1574 is a contentious piece of legislation that raises important questions about leadership and accountability within the FDIC. The outcome of the bill remains uncertain as it continues to be debated and discussed in Congress.
