The bill, which was introduced in the house in July is scheduled for a vote this week.
If the rule, do becomes the law, it will totally change, how FED responses during crisis and boom, impacting global financial market as a whole.
According to Ms. Yellen, such an approach will lead to poor economic outcomes and severely undermine FED's independence and make it more susceptible to political pressure.
