Can the Federal Reserve Chairman be re-appointed?

Yes! He can be provided he has proven track record that is acceptable to the rulers and international monetary agencies!

Supreme Court justices have lifetime appointments so that they  can be free from politics in making their decisions. If they had to be reappointed every few years, they might be influenced by a desire to please the people with the power to approve the reappointment instead of making their decisions on a case solely on their honest interpretation of the Constitution. It is all part of the checks & balances system set up by our Founding Fathers.

Up until his retirement, I would have said Alan Greenspan, former head of the Federal Reserve Board, was the most influencial.  Now I would have to say that the new chairman, Ben Bermanke, will end up being the most influential.

Only if thats what he wants. I think he has retired from public office. The Iraq speech  was bad for him. He was too use to taking orders.

Their Mission Statement says:\n\n.... the Federal Reserve’s duties fall into four general areas:\n\n- conducting the nation’s monetary policy by influencing the monetary and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates \n\n- supervising and regulating banking institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation’s banking and financial system and to protect the credit rights of consumers \n\n- maintaining the stability of the financial system and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets \n\n- providing financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign official institutions, including playing a major role in operating the nation’s payments system \n\n....\n\nI guess you'll have to pick three

Traditionally, the president can choose whomever he wishes for his cabinet. The cast of cabinet secretaries is varied and has included both friends and foes of the sitting President at the time. However, most cabinet positions are subject to congressional hearings, so it helps to pick people with some kind of qualifications, and the selection and performance of the President's cabinet can reflect directly on the chief executive and influence his re-election, if they prove to be poor choices.

The answer is no. If ever a president made such a move, to mantain power (emergency powers, anyone?), the congress, supreme court, and the people themselves would have the right and indeed, the responsibility to remove him from office, by force if necessary.\n\nEdit: Peace, why can you libs not just answer a question without blasting the president and regurgitating the same old talking points?

No, this would lead to abuse of power.  If the president thinks a Federal Law is restraining him in the duties of his office, then he should talk with congress about this and have the law changed.\n\nThere are arguments for not being able to sue a sitting president, becuase then the opposition could file lawsuits to distract the president.  This arugement does not really stand today due to the fact that lawyers would handel that and the president would have minimual involment with the case itself, so little distraction would take place.

Unfortunately, even now they are not. Anyone can make mistakes. So, electing him first time is understandable. But re-electing him is shocking. Supporting him even now is completely beyond my grasp.

No, they cannot. Prior to the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt there was no limit on the number of terms a president could serve. FDR broke tradition by serving a third term In fact, he was even elected for a fourth term, but he died shortly thereafter. Once FDR was gone the Congress decided to make it so that from that time forward a president could only serve 2 terms. The 22nd amendment was passed to ensure this. However, if a president dies or is removed from office somehow with 2 years or less in his term and the vice president takes power, the vice president is allowed to be elected to two more terms. Therefore, it is possible that a president could serve a 10 year term, which is kind of like having 2.5 terms. This has never happened yet, but it could.

appointed! (B - sorta ... but it's not just that easy)\n\nArticle II, section 1, clause 6 of the Constitution, the ''Succession Clause,'' specifies that in the event of simultaneous vacancies in the presidency and the vice presidency, or the simultaneous ''inability'' of those officers to act, Congress may by law specify what ''Officer'' shall ''act as President until the disability be removed or a President shall be elected.'' If a statutory successor is serving as acting President, Congress may, but is not required to, call a new presidential election.

Yes he can.. Andrew Johnson was elected to the Senate after his term was over, and John Quincy Adams served in the House of Representatives. Usually however they don't.. if they serve 2 terms they usually retire and we pay for them to live in the lap of luxury the rest of their life :)

They should ammend the constitution to allow him to run again in 2008.  If they can break the rules for FDR they can do it for GWB!

Wow! These liberals never cease to amaze me.\n\nNo, a President cannot remain in office after a second term for ANY reason. Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment states:\n\n"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term."\n\nNow, the danger lies in electing someone like Al Gore or John Kerry whose main concern is what the United Nations thinks. Both have stated that they would work in close cooperation with the United Nations. And if you think we have problems now, wait until Kofi Annan is calling the shot in our country.

technically he is appointed by congress through the votes of the electoral college which is why we do not use a popular vote to decide. very old fashioned way to collect votes in this day and age
