Gold-Silver Ratio Hits 100:1 – A Historic Buying Signal for Silver 
President Trump is threatening to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and has asked the Supreme Court to approve his dismissal of board members from other independent agencies. This challenges a 90-year-old precedent limiting presidential power to fire such officials except for neglect or malfeasance.
Trump has already fired leaders at the Federal Trade Commission and Federal Election Commission, with these actions being contested in court. A dismissed FTC board member pointed out that legally, their position is equivalent to Powell’s, suggesting if Trump can legally remove them, he could do the same to Powell.
Trump has publicly called for Powell’s quick termination and reportedly discussed replacing him with former Fed governor Kevin Warsh, though some economic advisors recommend waiting until Powell’s term ends in 2026.
