美东时间8月25日，美国总统特朗普在社交媒体"真实社交"上发布一封致美联储理事丽莎·库克的公开信，宣布 免除其职务"立即生效"。 这一被外媒称作"史无前例"的举动也引起市场动荡，消息发出后，日元对美元汇率在避险情绪推动下一度涨近 0.5%，最高触及146.9865，随后回落。 特朗普在信中援引美国宪法第二条及经修订的《1913年联邦储备法》相关条款，宣称已认定存在"正当理由"撤 销库克职位。他引用联邦住房金融局提交的材料，指控库克在抵押贷款申请中虚报"主要住所"，在密歇根和佐 治亚两州重复享受优惠贷款条件。特朗普斥责其行为"不可想象"，质疑库克诚信与担任监管者的资格，并 以"为了确保法律得到忠实执行"收尾，落款签名确认。 针对此指控，据外媒报道，库克几小时后委托律师事务所通过电子邮件发送给媒体的一份声明中回应了特朗 普，称其"法律上没有理由"将她解雇。"我将继续履行我的职责，帮助美国经济。"库克说。 此前，针对特朗普8月20日前后在社交媒体上对库克进行的辞职施压，库克已经通过多家媒体表示，她不会因 为一条推文或者政治压力而辞职，并强调将通过合法程序作出澄清。 事实上，法律层面上总统能否直接罢免美联储理事仍存疑 ...

金十整理：特朗普可能炒掉"哪个"鲍威尔？ 鲍威尔身兼三职 1. 美联储主席——2026年5月23日任期届满，该职位由美国总统任命。 2. FOMC主席——FOMC负责制定利率，主席由12名票委每年投票选出。 3. 美联储理事——2028年1月31日任期届满，永久享有利率决议投票权。 特朗普会如何炒掉鲍威尔？ 1. 仅罢免美联储主席职务——鲍威尔可以继续担任美联储理事，在利率决议中投票。特朗普只能选择提 名其他六位现任理事中的一位担任主席。目前特朗普在理事会中拥有两位盟友：鲍曼和沃勒。即使提名 盟友担任美联储主席，也不一定能推动降息，因为降息需要多数票。 2. 罢免FOMC主席职务——特朗普无法直接控制谁来担任FOMC主席，FOMC主席每年由12名票委选 出。只要鲍威尔还是美联储理事，他就有可能继续被选为FOMC主席。 3. 罢免美联储理事职务——这种做法的影响最大。鲍威尔一旦被解除理事职务，将直接空出一个美联储 理事和主席职位，可由特朗普自己选择的人来填补。此外，这也将为特朗普解雇其他"不听话"的理事敞 开大门。 特朗普能炒掉鲍威尔吗？ 1. 目前尚不清楚特朗普是否有权这样做。美联储主席只在"有正当理由"的情 ...
