The answer is False: Members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are appointed for life.

Explanation:

  • Members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are appointed for staggered 14-year terms, not for life. This structure is designed to ensure stability and continuity in monetary policy.
  • The President of the United States appoints the members, and the Senate confirms them. While they serve long terms, they are not lifetime appointments.
  • The Chair and Vice Chair of the Board are appointed from among the members for four-year terms, which can be renewed, but again, these are not lifetime positions.
