This board runs the
Federal Reserve System, which controls US
monetary policy and oversees the banking industry. Its seven governors are appointed for 14-year terms by the US President (with Senate approval), but each chairman's term is only four years, thereby allowing each president the possibility of influencing the choice of chairman. The
FOMC, a sub-committee of the board, sets US interest rates.
