By law, the appointments must yield a "fair representation of the financial, agricultural, industrial, and commercial interests and geographical divisions of the country".<ref name=usc12-241/><ref name="federalreserve1"/> As stipulated in the [[Banking Act of 1935]], the [[Chair of the Federal Reserve|Chair]] and [[Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve|Vice Chair]] of the Board are two of seven members of the [[Board of Governors]] who are appointed by the [[President of the United States|President]] from among the sitting governors of the Federal Reserve Banks.<ref name=usc12-241/><ref name="federalreserve1"/>

The terms of the seven members of the Board span multiple presidential and congressional terms. Once a member of the Board of Governors is appointed by the president, he or she functions mostly independently. Such independence is unanimously supported by major economists.<ref>http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/fed-appointments</ref> The Board is required to make an annual report of operations to the [[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives|Speaker of the House]].<ref>{{usc|12|247}}.</ref> It also supervises and regulates the operations of the [[Federal Reserve Bank]]s, and the U.S. banking system in general. The Board obtains its funding from charges that it assesses on the Federal Reserve Banks, and not from the federal budget.

The Board obtains its funding from charges that it assesses on the Federal Reserve Banks, and not from the federal budget; however, since net earnings of the Federal Reserve Banks are ultimately remitted to the US Treasury,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Federal Reserve Board - Section 7. Division of Earnings |url=https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/section7.htm |access-date=2023-05-26 |website=Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System |language=en}}</ref> and spending by the Federal Reserve System reduces the size of these remittances, the effects of this source-of-funding distinction are largely optical.


Membership is by statute limited in term, and a member that has served for a full 14-year term is not eligible for reappointment.<ref name=usc12-242/> There are numerous occasions where an individual was appointed to serve the remainder of another member's uncompleted term, and has been reappointed to serve a full 14-year term.<ref name=usc12-242/> Since "upon the expiration of their terms of office, members of the Board shall continue to serve until their successors are appointed and have qualified",<ref name=usc12-242/> it is possible for a member to serve for significantly longer than a full term of 14 years. The law provides for the removal of a member of the Board by the President "for cause".<ref name=usc12-242>See {{usc|12|242}}.</ref>

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, commonly known as the Federal Reserve Board, is the main governing body of the Federal Reserve System. It is charged with overseeing the Federal Reserve Banks and with helping implement the monetary policy of the United States. Governors are appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate for staggered 14-year terms.[1][2] It is headquartered in the Eccles Building on Constitution Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C.

Statutory description

[edit]
A Board of Governors meeting in April 2019

By law, the appointments must yield a "fair representation of the financial, agricultural, industrial, and commercial interests and geographical divisions of the country".[1][2] As stipulated in the Banking Act of 1935, the chair and vice chair of the Board are two of seven members of the Board of Governors who are appointed by the president from among the sitting governors of the Federal Reserve Banks.[1][2]

The terms of the seven members of the Board span multiple presidential and congressional terms. Once a member of the Board of Governors is appointed by the president, the members function mostly independently. Such independence is unanimously supported by major economists.[3] The Board is required to make an annual report of operations to the Speaker of the House.[4] It also supervises and regulates the operations of the Federal Reserve Banks, and the U.S. banking system in general. The Board obtains its funding from charges that it assesses on the Federal Reserve Banks, and not from the federal budget; however, since net earnings of the Federal Reserve Banks are ultimately remitted to the US Treasury,[5] and spending by the Federal Reserve System reduces the size of these remittances, the effects of this source-of-funding distinction are largely optical.

Membership is by statute limited in term, and a member who has served for a full 14-year term is not eligible for reappointment.[6] There are numerous occasions where an individual was appointed to serve the remainder of another member's uncompleted term and has been reappointed to serve a full 14-year term.[6] Since "upon the expiration of their terms of office, members of the Board shall continue to serve until their successors are appointed and have qualified",[6] a member can serve for significantly longer than a full term of 14 years. The law provides for the removal of a member of the board by the president "for cause".[6]

The chair and vice chair of the Board of Governors are appointed by the president from among the sitting Governors. They both serve a four-year term and they can be renominated as many times as the president chooses until their terms on the Board of Governors expire.[1]

All seven board members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and five Federal Reserve Bank presidents direct the open market operations that set U.S. monetary policy through their membership in the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).[7]

Records of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors are found in the Record Group n. 82 at the National Archives and Records Administration.[8]

Succession of seats

[edit]

The Federal Reserve Board has seven seats subject to Senate confirmation, separate from a member's term as chair or vice chair.[11][12][13][14]

Structure of leadership

[edit]

The chair, vice chair, and vice chair for supervision are appointed by the president from among the sitting members of the board to serve a four-year term and they can be renominated as many times as the president chooses, subject to Senate confirmation each time, until their terms on the Board of Governors expire.[11]

Unsuccessful nominations

[edit]

The below table shows those who were formally nominated to fill a vacant seat but failed to be confirmed by the Senate.

In addition some have been announced but never formally nominated before being withdrawn from consideration. Alicia Munnell, representing Boston, was announced to fill LaWare's seat by Bill Clinton in 1995.[15] Felix Rohatyn (district unknown) was announced to fill Alan Blinder's as vice chair and his seat in 1996.[16] Steve Moore and Herman Cain were announced to fill Bloom Raskin and Yellen's seats (without specifying which seat or district) by Donald Trump in 2019.[17][18]
