Jerome Powell's decision to remain on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors after his term as Chairman ends is sparking a major controversy in the United States. Senator Scott calls it a "serious mistake" that breaks a 75‑year precedent and could lead to policy clashes with the Trump administration.This move also prevents Trump from quickly gaining a majority on the Fed, escalating power tensions as the White House pushes for lower interest rates. Although a previous legal investigation was dismissed, Powell has chosen to stay until all issues are clarified. Observers warn that this confrontation could undermine the Fed's independence and make US monetary policy more unpredictable in the coming period.
