Supreme Court Appears to Limit Trump’s Firing Power

The article discusses two Supreme Court cases involving President Trump's authority to remove federal officials. The first case, Slaughter v. Trump, examines whether statutory limits on removing FTC commissioners violate presidential powers, potentially challenging a 90-year-old precedent. The second case, Trump v. Cook, addresses whether Trump met the "for cause" standard to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, with the Court appearing inclined to uphold the Fed's independence. These cases test broader questions about presidential removal power and the independence of federal agencies.
