Yep. Can Trump fire the chairman?

I heard Bush begged Greenspan to cut rates. He wouldn’t do it. But he cut the rates right after Clinton was sworn in. Greenspan is married to an nbc “reporter”.

That is also patently false. Do the research and see what the Fed rates were over the course of the last 30 years.

Not without cause. Not raising or lowering rates when the president wants them is not cause.

I have no idea which rate you're talking about. The Fed funds rate was 8.25% on January 1, 1990. It was 3.0% on January 1, 1993.
