No, the Federal Reserve System is an independent agency of the federal government, and is run by its Board of Governors, of whom Ben Bernanke is the Chairman. The seven Governors are nominated by the President and approved by the Senate to fourteen-year terms. Although both the President and the Congress both wish that they sometimes did run the Federal Reserve and dictate its economic and regulatory policies, they do not.
