As Trump pushes to replace Jerome Powell, learn when the Fed Chair’s term ends and what limits the President faces in removing him.

Still, that hasn’t stopped Trump from trying to fire the Fed chair. “I don’t think he’s doing the job,” the President said Thursday, claiming that Powell cut interest rates “too late.” Powell was first nominated to lead the Fed by Trump in 2017 and renominated by President Joe Biden in 2022. His current term as chair extends until May 2026.
