Macroeconomics question.. heLp Please!?

The Federal Reserve was established in 1913 and is, therefore, a “creature of Congress.” The President of the United States nominates members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, subject to confirmation by the Senate. However, the Federal Reserve is basically free to pursue monetary policy independent of Congress or the President. Should the Federal Reserve remain independent of the President and Congress or should the President and Congress control monetary policy? Why?
