U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) questions Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke (not pictured) during his testimony before the House Financial Services Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, in this July 21, 2009 file photo. The U.S. House of Representatives on July 25, 2012 overwhelmingly approved legislation to subject Federal Reserve monetary policy to audit scrutiny, a measure that is expected to die in the Senate. The legislation written by Paul, whose long anti-Fed crusade led to his presidential bid and grass-roots folk-hero status, passed the House by a 327-98 vote, exceeding a required two thirds majority.
