Woodrow Wilson
President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law in 1913.
Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924) was the 28th President of the United States and a devout Democrat. Wilson was a Presbyterian and 'intellectual elite' of 'Progressive' idea and policies, he served as President of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910, where he denied entrance to black Americans. Wilson was elected President as a Democrat in 1912. Early in his first term, he instituted racial segregation in the federal government. Wilson worked with a Democratic Majority Congress to pass major 'progressive' legislation that included the Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act, America's first-ever federal 'progressive' income taxin the Revenue Act of 1913 and most notably the Federal Reserve Act. It was the Federal Reserve Act that privatized much of The Federal Reserve and some say took oversight of the monetary system of The United States away from the people.

No, it did go through Congress as the Federal Trade Commission Act, but it was created by president Woodrow Wilson.
Wilson pushed for the proposal and ratification of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, which makes a a federal income tax legally possible. Before this amendment, the federal government could not impose any direct or "head" tax on its citizens.
