The Federal Reserve has zero oversight.

The Fed sets key interest rates.
Raised, they slow borrowing which in turn leads to strengthening the dollar which then can lead to reduced inflation.

The Chair of the Feb is about the only one person who has any effect on the economy, despite what presidents wish to take the credit due to their sheer awesomeness and Pepsodent smile. Of course there are other forces that have an impact, but in terms of an individual,,,

The president appoints the Fed head.
