Another action he doesn't have the power to do but will be granted to him by scotus after he gives the rule of law the finger and does it anyway.

Hijinks will ensue shortly after Der Dotard's attempt to get rid of Powell, when all those MAGA-hat dorks open their credit card bills and find their interest rates all went up to, oh, say 40%.

Remember the economy in mid-2020? For those who have forgotten or blocked those days from memory, you will re-live them if Jay Powell is forced out...

As an "old," I will likely be dead before all of Lord Dampnut's insanity kicks in. I fear for my grown daughter's future, though.

Did you mean the concept of a termination letter? When I was downsized in 1997, the HR lady had to drive from downtown out to the distribution center wherein was my office, to give me the news.
