Supreme Court lets Trump fire FTC commissioner, challenging long-standing limits on removing agency heads.
The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily allowed President Trump to fire FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, bypassing a 1935 precedent that limits removals of independent agency heads to cases of misconduct.
The 6-3 decision, which halts lower court rulings reinstating Slaughter, signals the Court’s intent to review the broader question of presidential power over independent agencies.
The case could reshape the balance of power between the executive branch and regulatory bodies overseeing areas like consumer protection and labor.
While the Court has not yet ruled on the merits, the temporary stay suggests a conservative majority may be open to limiting the independence of federal agencies.
The full case will be heard in December.
