Maybe Fed Chairman could be a collateral duty of the Vice President.
I mean why not just make it Trump? Trump can adopt a Westerosi-inspired title, “President of the United States, Chairman of the Kennedy Center and Federal Reserve, Conqueror of Greenland, Lord of the Seven Penguin Islands.”
Never. Like setting up the VP (always a turkey) as the Chief Justice.

Oh, if life would just mirror art.
