U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
The SEC was conceived after the 1929 stock market crash. Congress called for its creation in the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, and the commission began operations the following year.
It is made up of five members, with no more than three of the same political party. Commissioners are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate for five-year terms. The president designates the commissioner who serves as chairman.
