“I’m honored the president nominated me for the position, and I’ll be an independent actor if confirmed as Chairman of the Federal Reserve,” Warsh said Tuesday in a Senate Banking Committee hearing.

Warsh was responding to a question from Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana about whether he would be a “sock puppet” for the president. “Absolutely not,” Warsh responded.
