- In a 6-3 decision on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court permitted President Trump to remove Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic Federal Trade Commissioner, while the case regarding presidential authority over independent agencies proceeds.
- This firing challenges the 1935 Humphrey's Executor precedent that limits presidential removal of FTC commissioners except for cause.
- The Court reversed a federal judge's block on Slaughter's firing and set oral arguments for December to review removal protections and separation of powers.
- Justice Kagan dissented, accusing the majority of effectively overturning Humphrey's without briefing or argument and granting the president unlimited removal power.
- This decision may undermine the bipartisan independence of FTC members and signals a shift toward expanded presidential control over independent agencies.
