The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 provides for the firing of a Governor for cause such as malfeasance - corruption, ethical violation, criminal activity. The question becomes: Does her criminal referral to the Justice Department for mortgage fraud meet that test.

The Court explicitly stated that the Federal Reserve is “uniquely situated” and shielded from presidential removal powers, citing its historical independence and quasi-private status—drawing a sharp distinction between the Fed and other regulatory agencies.
aug 26, 2025, 4:01 am • 32 2 • view
Federal Reserve Governors/Chair: The Supreme Court drew “bright red lines” around the Federal Reserve, stating that its governors and chair are protected from presidential dismissal and that the Fed’s independence was not subject to the same ruling as other agencies
aug 26, 2025, 4:02 am • 23 1 • view
Reasoning: The majority opinion emphasized the Fed’s distinct structure and historical tradition. Justice Kagan’s dissent called this a “bespoke Federal Reserve exception” and challenged the logic, noting that independence foundations for the Fed are similar to other agencies that were not protected
aug 26, 2025, 4:03 am • 15 1 • view
Future Implications: The recent SCOTUS decision ensures the Federal Reserve remains off limits from direct presidential firing power, safeguarding its role in monetary policy even as other independent agencies lose statutory protections (even if that makes little sense) www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/s...
aug 26, 2025, 4:05 am • 14 2 • view
The SCOTUS majority opinion distinguishes the Fed’s status from other agencies, reinforcing that its leaders cannot be fired except under terms set by Congress for cause or expiration of term. This carve-out ensures the Fed’s monetary policy decisions remain insulated from executive interference.

POTUS can fire a Fed Governor for “cause”. The whole mortgage lie is so he can claim “moral turpitude” or something similar, thus having case for “cause”. But she can sue him for falsely claiming “cause”, and he can’t fire her until he’s demonstrated “cause” in a court of law.
