特朗普试图罢免联储理事丽莎·库克引发法律争议
摘要
特朗普总统因涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈试图解雇联邦储备理事丽莎·库克，引发法律挑战，激起对联储独立性的担忧。
特朗普总统宣布解雇联邦储备理事丽莎·库克，理由是她涉嫌与2021年房地产购买相关的抵押贷款欺诈。库克于2022年由拜登总统任命，否认这些指控，并已提起诉讼，质疑总统在未经过正当程序的情况下罢免她的权力。
《联邦储备法》允许总统“有正当理由”罢免理事，通常涉及在职期间的不当行为。法律专家认为，此类罢免需有确凿的不当行为证据及正式程序，而本案均未发生。
库克的诉讼主张这些指控毫无根据且带有政治动机，旨在削弱联储的独立性。她聘请了律师阿比·洛威尔，后者表示特朗普的行为缺乏适当程序和法律依据。
联邦储备表示将遵守法院就库克罢免案作出的任何裁决。发言人重申联储致力于透明度、问责制及独立性，以服务美国家庭、社区和企业。
这一前所未有的举动引发了对中央银行独立性可能被侵蚀的担忧，而独立性被视为其管理通胀和经济稳定能力的关键。如果库克被罢免，特朗普可能任命第四位理事进入联储七人理事会，未来数年可能影响美国货币政策。
围绕库克罢免的法律争斗预计将升级至最高法院，此案对行政部门与独立联邦机构之间的权力平衡具有重大影响。
