Federal Reserve Overhaul: Increased Political Accountability and District Reduction.

This bill fundamentally restructures the Federal Reserve, the institution responsible for setting interest rates and managing inflation. Key regional Fed bank presidents will now be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, increasing political accountability for economic decisions. Furthermore, the bill reduces the number of Federal Reserve districts from 12 to 5 and bans the Fed from using its funds for lobbying activities.
