First question to her is about the bill to open the Fed's monetary decision process to congressional review.
The "question" was more of a speech than than a question. Speech continues....blah, blah, blah....
Dow Jones up 182 points.

Question: "Does the Federal Reserve have the legal authority to implement negative interest rates?"
Her answer: "Our legal advisers say it is an open question at this point."
Question: "Does the Fed need a bill to authorize negative rates?"
Answer: "We don't know at this point."

I missed it, though, it appears much the same blanket statements. Which is probably good.
Did she try and call the bottom of oil again?

If I were Yellen it'd be hard for me to not completely tee off on the idiots at these hearings. Most of the people asking questions have no business being in a meeting with her. They don't understand econ 101 much less the intricacies of the Federal Reserve.

"Yes, we artificially inflated stock market to raise the prime rate .25 because we thought we had to"

Bump to highlight her appearance today before the senate committee.
So far, nothing new from her testimony yesterday before the house committee.

Here we go......Corker asking about the Fed implementing negative rates. 
ETA: "We looked at negative rates in 2010 and concluded it would not be an effective way of stimulating the economy." - Yellen

The only buzz word this senator knows is "cost benefit analysis."
He's repeated it more times than Marco Rubio would have.....
