Fed Chairman Exploring Legality of Firing President

The Washington rumor mill, already spinning out of control, received another push this week from a normally staid institution: the Federal Reserve Board.  Sources state that Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board Jerome Powell has been discussing the legality of firing President Donald Trump.  Tasked with controlling the money supply of the world's largest economy to promote growth while avoiding inflation, Powell is increasingly frustrated with the President's apparent determination to sabotage the economy.  "I know the optics are really bad, like bankers are taking over the country, but I'm at wit's end.  There's really only so much we can do to protect the economy, but one tweet about sticking it to the Chinese, or reviving coal, or doubling tariffs, and before you know it, we're going to have runs on banks like in 1929."  Powell concedes that the Federal Reserve Chairman firing the President is a constitutional long shot, but is still confident that there's a loophole somewhere in the laws on presidential succession.
