Feb 11 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran on Wednesday said ‌he would be "very happy" to ‌stay on at the central bank longer-term if asked, but the decision is not up to him.

Miran occupies a seat with an expired term, making it ‌the only ⁠Fed board seat to which President Donald Trump can nominate ⁠former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, his pick to run the Fed, unless Fed Chair Jerome Powell resigns from the ‌Fed board when his leadership term is up in mid-May. Powell has not said what he will do.

"What happens later this year will depend ‌on a variety of things; it depends if there's an open seat, it depends ‌on the choice that the president makes, it depends on choices that the Senate makes," Miran said in an ‌interview with Larry Kudlow on Fox Business.
