In this episode of Need to Know with Dr. Nsenga Burton, we tackle the question: Can a president really control the Federal Reserve? Dr. Burton breaks down former President #47’s push to influence Fed policy by targeting economist Lisa Cook — and what it reveals about the limits of presidential power.
From the independence of the Federal Reserve to the checks and balances built into the three branches of government, Dr. Burton explains why understanding how power actually works is crucial for every American. She also highlights the press’s role in keeping leaders accountable and why public awareness is our strongest defense against creeping autocracy.
If you want clarity on how the U.S. government works — and the real boundaries of presidential authority — this episode is for you.
