历史第一次！特朗普“开除”现任美联储理事

Core Viewpoint - The unprecedented action by Trump to dismiss a Federal Reserve board member has caused significant turmoil in the financial markets, raising concerns about potential constitutional crises and market instability [2][5][6]. Group 1: Trump's Actions and Implications - Trump's move to potentially dismiss Cook could allow him to gain control over the Federal Reserve by appointing a majority of the board members, which would fundamentally reshape the institution [3][10]. - If Trump successfully removes Cook, he would have the opportunity to appoint a fourth member to the board, thereby achieving a majority in the seven-member council [10][11]. - Trump's previous appointments have already included two current members, and he has recently nominated Stephen Miran to fill a seat vacated by a Biden appointee [3][10]. Group 2: Legal and Political Context - Legal experts note that while the president has the authority to dismiss Federal Reserve board members, it requires substantial evidence of misconduct rather than political motivations [8]. - The allegations against Cook, including claims of mortgage fraud, have not been substantiated in court, and the Department of Justice is currently investigating the matter [8][9]. - Historical context shows that previous presidents have not taken such drastic actions against Federal Reserve officials, indicating the severity of Trump's current approach [7][9].
