Trump Can Only Dismiss Federal Reserve Governors for Just Cause
According to Jinse Finance, Trump has announced the dismissal of Federal Reserve Governor Cook, an unprecedented move that marks a significant escalation in his attacks on the Federal Reserve. Trump's action pushes the Federal Reserve system into uncharted territory and is likely to trigger a legal battle that could ultimately reach the Supreme Court. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 restricts the president's unilateral authority to dismiss Fed governors, stipulating that the president may do so only "for cause." Although the law does not specify what constitutes "cause," it has historically been interpreted as misconduct or neglect of duty. If Trump ultimately succeeds in removing Cook, he would be able to nominate her successor and reshape the Federal Reserve Board in the coming years.
