金十整理：特朗普可能炒掉“哪个”鲍威尔？

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the potential for former President Trump to remove Jerome Powell from his positions at the Federal Reserve, highlighting the complexities and limitations of such an action. Group 1: Powell's Positions - Jerome Powell holds three key positions: Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Chairman of the FOMC, and a Federal Reserve Governor, with varying terms and appointment processes [1]. Group 2: Trump's Authority - It remains unclear whether Trump has the authority to dismiss Powell, as the Federal Reserve Chairman can only be removed for "just cause" [2]. Group 3: Potential Actions by Trump - Trump could only remove Powell from the Chairman position, allowing Powell to remain a Federal Reserve Governor and still participate in interest rate decisions. Trump has two allies on the board, but appointing an ally as Chairman does not guarantee a rate cut due to the need for a majority vote [3]. - Trump cannot directly control the FOMC Chairman position, as it is elected by 12 voting members annually. As long as Powell remains a Federal Reserve Governor, he could still be re-elected as FOMC Chairman [3]. - The most impactful action would be to remove Powell from his Governor position, which would create a vacancy that Trump could fill with his own choice, potentially allowing him to dismiss other dissenting Governors [3].
