Your point? The Federal reserve system is still part of the government.

Any natural born citizen can become a member of Congress (provided they are over 30 iirc). Does it follow then that Congress is not a part of the government because any persom can become a part of it. A formerly private citizen now sits in the white house. Does it follow that the executive branch is not part of the government? I cannot comprehend why the fact that non-government entities can joint a government entity makes you think the latter ceases to be part of the government.
