How Trump Might Alter the Federal Reserve and Its Impact on the U.S.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is considering potential adjustments to the Federal Reserve's structure, including Bitcoin acquisitions and leadership reshuffles. This topic was a focal point during his election campaign, warranting an exploration of possible outcomes.

Trump's Plan for the Fed

A key discussion point surrounding Donald Trump's potential return to the presidency is his interest in altering Federal Reserve policy. His possible plan could involve the acquisition of Bitcoin through government funds to position the U.S. as a leading crypto hub. Appointed by Trump in 2018, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, has stated that the Fed is not allowed to own Bitcoin and has no intentions to change this law.

Biden Appointees and Potential Targets

Among the potential targets for removal are several board members appointed by President Joe Biden. Michael Barr, Vice Chair for Supervision, is rumored to be Trump's primary target. While Barr's duties aren't directly tied to monetary policy, this could be a reason to challenge his position. Trump may also consider pressing for the dismissal of other staff, such as Adriana Kugler and Philip Jefferson.

Legal Aspects and Economic Impact

Current legal provisions require a 'for cause' standard for the removal of Federal Reserve governors, excluding dismissal based on policy disagreements. Nonetheless, Trump might attempt to demote Powell or push for amendments to the Federal Reserve Act through Congress. Experts caution that any undermining of the Fed's independence could adversely affect financial markets, though ultimate decisions will remain within the legislative and judicial spheres.

Trump's proposed reshuffling of the Federal Reserve could significantly impact the U.S. economic landscape and raise questions about the independence of a key financial institution. Analysts note that any adjustments should be carefully evaluated for their legal ramifications and economic effects.
