This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump publicly and unequivocally announces that he is removing Jerome Powell as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or takes formal action toward doing so, such as issuing a directive or formal request, between market creation and the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Statements which are contingent (e.g. “Powell must step down”), statements of intent (e.g.“I am planning to fire Powell”) or other informal statements which are not unequivocal will not qualify. If Jerome Powell resigns or otherwise formally departs his role as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors prior to a qualifying action, this market will immediately resolve to "No". Attempts to remove Powell from his role as chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, which do not include removing Powell as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, will not alone qualify. The resolution source will be official information from Donald Trump; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump publicly and unequivocally announces that he is removing Jerome Powell as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or takes formal action toward doing so, such as issuing a directive or formal request, by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET.

The resolution source will be official information from Donald Trump; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated his intent to remove Jerome Powell from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors following the end of Powell’s term as chair in May 2026, with public threats issued as recently as April 2026 conditioning any continued service on prompt departure. These statements coincide with a Department of Justice investigation into Federal Reserve headquarters renovations and broader administration efforts to influence monetary policy through personnel changes. Powell’s governor term runs until January 2028, and he has indicated willingness to remain during any transition period or pending inquiries. Legal precedents, Senate confirmation dynamics for replacements, and potential court challenges to removal attempts remain key variables that could shape whether an explicit firing action occurs within any defined timeframe.
