4 August, Nick Timiraos: The three most recent complete members of the United States Federal Reserve for 14 years are Alan Greenspan (1992-2006), George Mitchell (1962-1976) and William Macchesny Martin Jr. (1956-1970). Moreover, all three of them, prior to the commencement of their respective 14-year terms of office, had been filled as members of the Federal Reserve Board for the unexpired term (a member who had left early). If Powell could remain in office until January 2028, he would join. (Bover has served on the Council for 14 years, but his 14-year official term begins in 2014
