Supreme Court Limits Trump on Agency Heads
The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump has the authority to fire officials in most independent agencies, but not the Federal Reserve. The Court upheld Trump's firing of Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter but blocked his attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, citing the Fed’s long-standing independence and protected for-cause removal. The decisions clarify limits on presidential power over independent agencies, with the Court emphasizing the independence of the Federal Reserve and affirming the president’s broader authority over other agencies.
