President Donald Trump must appoint three additional commissioners to restore the full five-member composition of the CFTC

Quotes that support claims

Goldsmith Romero's departure on May 31 will leave the CFTC with just two commissioners, and that number will likely remain static after Quintenz's confirmation until Trump nominates up to three more commissioners (two Republicans and a Democrat) to fill the empty seats.
With Goldsmith Romero, Pham, and Mersinger stepping down, Democratic Commissioner Kristin Johnson will be the only remaining member alongside Quintenz once he is confirmed. Trump will then need to nominate additional commissioners to fill the vacancies.
