- composed of five presidential-appointed / Senate confirmed commissioners
- all positions not always filled; currently only three commissioners
- a quorum (three commissioners) is needed to conduct business
- President Trump elevated a "junior" commissioner to head the agency
- this action by Trump, apparently, miffed the "senior" commissioner who was passed over
- the "senior" commissioner -- being miffed, tendered his/her resignation
- FERC will have two commissioners for most of 2017
- with only two commissioners, the FERC cannot conduct business (they need three members for a quorum)
Guess whether Trump appointed a woman or the male to be the head of the agency?
