 Secrets of the Federal Reserve
When these two banks merged in 1955, they owned in one block almost one fourth of the shares in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which controlled the entire system, and thus they could name Paul Volcker or anyone else they chose to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Thus the proposed Federal Reserve Bank was to be "controlled by Congress" and answerable to the government, but the majority of the directors were to be chosen, "directly or indirectly" by the banks of the association.
Federal Reserve proposal was unconstitutional from its inception, because the Federal Reserve System was to be a bank of issue.

 Info about the Federal Reserve System - Fed Res Bank of Kansas City
Twice a year the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System submits a written report to Congress on the state of the economy and the course of monetary policy, and the Federal Reserve Chairman often is called to consult with Congress on this report.
The Federal Reserve can also have a powerful impact on the flow of money and credit by either raising or lowering reserve requirements, the percentage of their deposits that financial institutions must keep on reserve.
But the Federal Reserve is, indeed, broadly involved in the nation's political processes because the Fed's basic purpose is to help the nation meet its long-run economic goals, and it must be responsive to the nation's needs as expressed by the public.
