Resolved 30 Sep 2026
How this resolves

The market resolves on the Board of Governors membership page at federalreserve.gov as it stands at 23:59 ET on 30 September 2026. YES if Lisa D. Cook is listed as a serving member of the Board on that page at that time, regardless of any litigation in progress; NO if she is not listed, whatever the reason. If that source has not published in time, Reuters and Al Jazeera reports of her status settle it.

The pattern behind it

Too few cases
One of the four scored board removals since January 2025 left the official in office thirty days later, and it was Cook's own case in August 2025, blocked by a district court within fifteen days. Wilcox at the NLRB, the FTC commissioners and the three CPSC commissioners were all out of office at the thirty-day mark and restored only after five weeks, four months and seven weeks respectively, before the Supreme Court allowed their removals. Four cases is the full scored record and below the six Hunch requires to show History.

We found four removals like this since January 2025. Each time the President moved to remove a member of a federal board whom the law protects from being fired without good reason, and the member went to court. Officials removed on the same day from the same board count as one. For each we checked whether the person was still in office, or back by court order, 30 days after the President's move.
