Powell rejects Trump's resignation demand—what a confrontation!
Trump shouts: “Powell! Resign now!”
Powell calmly responds: “You can't fire me like that.”
Trump pleads: “Come on, I'm begging you!”
Powell stands firm: “It's not going to happen!”
Here's the deal:
The President cannot directly fire the Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Why? Because the Chairman of the Federal Reserve has a 14-year term and can only be removed through official procedures—not just by yelling at him.
