UNITED STATES.- President Donald Trump has selected Columbia University professor Richard Clarida to be vice chairman of the Federal Reser- ve and Kansas bank commissioner Michelle Bowman to fill another vacancy on the Fed’s seven member board.
The White House announced Trump’s intent to nominate the two on Monday. The action represents the latest steps in Trump’s efforts to remake the seven member Fed board, which currently has four vacancies. Both nominations need Senate approval.
