CNN-Since being named AIG's chief executive in August, Robert Benmosche's brashness has unnerved board members and raised the ire of Congress.
According to numerous news reports, Benmosche has done everything from requesting corporate jets for personal use to saying he was prepared to tell Congress to "stick it where the sun don't shine."
"We call that chutzpah," said Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif. "He's determined that the federal government will continue to shovel money at him, his counterparties and shareholders. But why would we allow that?"
Unidentified board members spoke to Wall Street Journal reporters early last month, saying that Benmosche had overstepped his bounds and AIG Chairman Harvey Golub would have to rein him in.
