Kevin Warsh was sworn in as Federal Reserve chair on Friday morning, taking the oath of office from Justice Clarence Thomas at a White House ceremony.
Warsh said it was "a great honor" to have the oath administered "by one of the great and longest serving public servants, a brilliant and independent thinker, a man dedicated to our Constitution, and no less important, a joyful and collegial presence on our highest court, my esteemed friend Justice Clarence Thomas." As a Stanford undergrad, Warsh worked as an intern on Thomas's 1991 confirmation to the court.
