Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) was on Fox News yesterday urging Democrat leaders in Congress to stop blocking a vote on legislation to audit the Federal Reserve, authored by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) in the House, H.R. 1207, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Senate, S. 604.

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) is blocked by Senate Democrat Leadership from having a vote on his amendment to audit the Federal Reserve by Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska who raised a “point of order” to prevent the vote.

After being blocked, DeMint directly challenges Senate leadership by pointing out the other GAO audits contained in the bill. The Senate president was forced to agree with Senator DeMint.

The bill is based on a bill authored by Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) in the House, H.R. 1207, and Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) in the Senate, S. 604.
