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 of the United States of America. It oversees the Federal Reserve Banks and the implementation of the monetary policy of the United States.
Each governor is appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate to staggered 14-year terms, such that the tenures of all seven members span multiple presidential and congressional terms. Members who have served a full term are not eligible for reappointment, although governors who were initially appointed to serve an uncompleted term may be reappointed to a full term.
All seven board members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, along with the five Federal Reserve Bank presidents, are members of the Federal Open Market Committee, which directs the open market operations that sets monetary policy. The law provides for the removal of a member of the board by the president "for cause".
The chair and vice chair are appointed by the president from among the sitting Governors. They both serve a four-year term and can be renominated by the president as many times until their terms on the Board expire. The current chair is Jerome Powell; the current vice chair is Philip Jefferson. The Federal Reserve Board is headquartered in the Eccles Building on Constitution Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C.
Statutory description
[edit]
Governors are appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate for staggered 14-year terms.[5][6] By law, the appointments must yield a "fair representation of the financial, agricultural, industrial, and commercial interests and geographical divisions of the country".[5][6] 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.[5][6]
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.[7] The Board is required to make an annual report of operations to the Speaker of the House.[8] 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, though net earnings of the Federal Reserve Banks are ultimately remitted to the US Treasury.[9]
Membership is by statute limited in term, and a member who has served for a full 14-year term is not eligible for reappointment.[10] However, individuals have been appointed to serve the remainder of another member's uncompleted term and thereafter reappointed to serve a full 14-year term.[10] 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",[10] 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".[10]
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.[5]
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).[11]
Records of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors are found in the Record Group n. 82 at the National Archives and Records Administration.[12]

- ^ On August 25, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that he was removing Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, citing alleged misconduct. Federal law allows governors to be removed only “for cause,” a provision intended to protect the central bank’s independence. Cook disputed the allegations and filed suit in federal court, arguing that her dismissal was unlawful and politically motivated. As litigation proceeds, she remains legally considered an active governor,[14] pending a judicial ruling on whether the president had authority to remove her.

- Committee on Consumer and Community Affairs

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.[16]

Nominations, confirmations, and resignations
[edit]Obama administration
[edit]In late December 2011, President Barack Obama nominated Jeremy C. Stein, a Harvard University finance professor and a Democrat, and Jerome Powell, formerly of Dillon Read, Bankers Trust[21] and The Carlyle Group[22] and a Republican. Both candidates also have Treasury Department experience in the Obama and George H. W. Bush administrations respectively.[21]
"Obama administration officials [had] regrouped to identify Fed candidates after Peter Diamond, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, withdrew his nomination to the board in June [2011] in the face of Republican opposition. Richard Clarida, a potential nominee who was a Treasury official under George W. Bush, pulled out of consideration in August [2011]", one account of the December nominations noted.[23] The two other Obama nominees in 2011, Janet Yellen and Sarah Bloom Raskin,[24] were confirmed in September.[25] One of the vacancies was created in 2011 with the resignation of Kevin Warsh, who took office in 2006 to fill the unexpired term ending January 31, 2018, and resigned his position effective March 31, 2011.[26][27] In March 2012, U.S. Senator David Vitter (R, LA) said he would oppose Obama's Stein and Powell nominations, dampening near-term hopes for approval.[28] However, Senate leaders reached a deal, paving the way for affirmative votes on the two nominees in May 2012 and bringing the board to full strength for the first time since 2006[29]with Duke's service after term end. Later, on January 6, 2014, the United States Senate confirmed Yellen's nomination to be chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors; she was the first woman to hold the position.[30] Subsequently, President Obama nominated Stanley Fischer to replace Yellen as the vice-chair.[31]
In April 2014, Stein announced he was leaving to return to Harvard on May 28 with four years remaining on his term. At the time of the announcement, the FOMC "already is down three members as it awaits the Senate confirmation of ... Fischer and Lael Brainard, and as [President] Obama has yet to name a replacement for ... Duke. ... Powell is still serving as he awaits his confirmation for a second term."[32]
Allan R. Landon, former president and CEO of the Bank of Hawaii, was nominated in early 2015 by President Obama to the board.[33]
In July 2015, President Obama nominated University of Michigan economist Kathryn M. Dominguez to fill the second vacancy on the board. The Senate had not yet acted on Landon's confirmation by the time of the second nomination.[34]
Daniel Tarullo submitted his resignation from the board on February 10, 2017, effective on or around April 5, 2017.[35]
Unsuccessful
[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.[36] Felix Rohatyn (district unknown) was announced to fill Alan Blinder's as vice chair and his seat in 1996.[37] 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.[38][39]
