Supreme Court to tackle executive power, social issues in 2026 term

The Supreme Court will decide cases on presidential authority, Federal Reserve independence, birthright citizenship, and social issues including gun rights and transgender athletes.

  • Oral arguments are scheduled for January, the U.S. Supreme Court will address significant cases testing presidential power and hot-button social issues including gun rights and transgender athletes.
  • Legal challenges over presidential authority include Shemtob warning, `'if the court went all out and effectively gave the president carte blanche to remove...a governor of the Fed, then that would be an extremely big deal and give the president profound powers over that administrative agency. I don't think the court is likely to do that,' said Shemtob.
  • A looming birthright citizenship case could deny U.S. citizenship to babies born here to immigrant parents, and Ilya Somin, George Mason University law professor, warned it might deprive hundreds of thousands of children.
  • A long wait for rulings could push major decisions into the summer, as the court often saves its most contentious rulings for the end of the term and weighs Trump Administration tariffs.
  • Photographs from November 5, 2025 show the court in Washington, D.C., and observers calling it the 'Trump term' have framed public perception of the concentrated docket.
