How the call settles
Powell remains a sitting Federal Reserve governor (does not resign from the Board) after his chairmanship ends in May 2026
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Powell announced April 29, 2026 that he would remain on the Federal Reserve Board as a governor after his chairmanship ended, and he did: his chair term ended May 15, 2026 (he served as chair pro tempore until Kevin Warsh was sworn in May 22, 2026) while his governor term runs to January 31, 2028. He is the first outgoing chair to stay on the Board since Marriner Eccles in 1948.. Applied stored rule: Powell remains a sitting Federal Reserve governor (does not resign from the Board) after his chairmanship ends in May 2026.
Outcome evidence
Powell announced April 29, 2026 that he would remain on the Federal Reserve Board as a governor after his chairmanship ended, and he did: his chair term ended May 15, 2026 (he served as chair pro tempore until Kevin Warsh was sworn in May 22, 2026) while his governor term runs to January 31, 2028. He is the first outgoing chair to stay on the Board since Marriner Eccles in 1948.
