The FSFE is an independent sister organisation with a separate leadership, and the framework agreement FSFE has with FSF does not give a single person a special influcence or one of the organisations a special power over the other.
Regardless of whether he officially has power, he clearly unofficially has power. He's contacted me a few times over the years to insist on changes to the FAQ, usually over incredibly silly details like saying our pronunciation guidance was wrong because we advised people to pronounce GNU as two syllables, guh-NOO. When I spoke to someone within FSFE (name omitted for their privacy) about his 'help', I was told to just do what he wanted in order to make him go away.
If the FSFE was independent of Stallman, no one would feel the need to appease him.
