This market will resolve to “Yes” if Jerome Powell ceases to hold a position on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for any period of time between this market's creation and the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. This market is not limited to Jerome Powell’s current position as chair of the Federal Reserve. If Jerome Powell ceases to be Chair of the Federal Reserve, but remains a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, this will not qualify for a “Yes” resolution. The resolution source for this market will be information from the U.S. Government; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also suffice.Jerome Powell’s 14-year term as a Federal Reserve governor runs through January 31, 2028, providing the primary structural anchor for trader sentiment on any early exit from the Board. After stepping down as chair in May 2026, Powell publicly stated he would remain on the Board for an undetermined period to safeguard institutional independence amid ongoing political and legal scrutiny from the Trump administration, including a now-closed DOJ investigation into Fed building renovations. Governors can be removed only “for cause,” a high legal threshold that has blocked similar efforts against other members such as Lisa Cook. Recent August 2026 reporting confirms Powell continues serving without an announced departure date, while upcoming FOMC meetings and any Fed inspector general findings could introduce incremental volatility but face the same statutory and precedent-based constraints.
