Trump’s Cook firing will likely end up in the Supreme Court’s hands


Key Points
  • President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook will likely end up before the Supreme Court, Wall Street economists and analysts say.
  • The Federal Reserve Act allows presidents to remove Fed governors “for cause,” but the statute is ambiguous about what this means.
  • If Trump successfully ousts Cook, he would be on a path to gain a Fed majority and reshape the Federal Open Market Committee, giving him more influence over rates.
