Romney Wouldn’t Appoint Bernanke to New Fed Term

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he wouldn’t appoint Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke to a third term.

Romney said two of his top economic advisers, Glenn Hubbard of Columbia University and Greg Mankiw of Harvard University, are “excellent” aides when asked today during an interview on Fox Business Network. The former Massachusetts governor said he hasn’t considered a “single person” to replace the Fed chief, whose second term ends in January 2014.
