the idea is that you stagger the terms so that the expirations are evenly spaced 2 years apart. that way you get a guaranteed 2 appointments for each presidential term, and also implicitly solves the mal-incentive to nominate the youngest plausible candidate.

the federal reserve is just a bunch of bureaucrats, and people are still controlled by money just ... make them wear the wigs again, maybe also require them to veil their faces so no one outside their families can see their countenance
