Claim 5: “Five terms as Federal [Reserve chair]”

DISPUTED

Wikipedia states Alan Greenspan served as the chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006. This period covers approximately 19 years. Since Fed chair terms are 4 years, he served roughly 4.75 terms, but the evidence does not confirm 'five terms' and the specific dates provided contradict a full five-term tenure (which would be 20 years).
