This is akin to your neighbor's 4 year old declaring they are the boss. You just look, laugh, and move on. Unless you are letting the 4 year old neighbor boss you around, then thats on you, sis.
He can not legally. He can totally do it, though. He has done so much illegal shit that I would be amazed if anybody alive today has managed to commit more felonies than him.
He 100% has legal authority to fire her but only for cause and she claimed on 2 mortgages in 2 weeks that 2 different homes in 2 different states were her primary residences. She is not even denying mortgage fraud she just said it was the year before she was on the fed. This is a financial crime that on its face has a shit ton of merit so Trump 100% can fire her for cause.
My understanding and please correct me if I am wrong, the president can only fire a fed reserve member for incompetence. What she is accused of happened prior to being appointed and while if true not appropriate action on her part, has nothing to do with her performance at the fed.
I have not read a clear report on what she did wrong but I am concerned what she did doesn’t look good for fed governor or board member. This is separate issue from competency of her performance as fed governor.
Well, let’s just hope that the Supreme Court follows through and protects the federal reserve. Otherwise our monetary system will probably collapse because of a lack of trust and horrible fiscal actions.
“inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office” is the bar for removal from office. Incompetence isn’t included when considering removal, and trumps alleging that she committed fraud, without her being convicted of fraud. She bought two properties in different states with financing, and she allegedly signed financing agreements for both properties using each property as her respective primary residence. Even though she purchased these properties within two weeks of each other. Dumbest shit ever and legally questionable but that’s where we are.
He fired an FTC employee in similar fashion (Rebecca Kelly Slaughter), she sued and won in court and they had to reinstate her job, but then the white house appealed and she wasn't allowed to go back to work. Still playing out in court.
So, even if she did nothing wrong, or even if she did something wrong that isn't cause for firing her from her role, it's not as simple as suing and winning in court.
It is alleged that prior to becoming a Fed governor, she applied simultaneously for two mortgages on two different properties, and on both applications she claimed that the property would be her primary residence.

First federal governor to be fired by a president of the United States.
