US EditionTrump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Permit Product Safety Agency Firings
- On July 2, 2025, President Trump's administration requested that the Supreme Court permit the removal of three Biden-appointed officials from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- The firings in May targeted Biden-appointed commissioners whose removal was challenged after a federal judge ruled the dismissals unlawful and reinstated them earlier this month.
- The commission sets consumer safety standards, can order recalls, bring civil suits, and requires bipartisan membership to maintain independence.
- The Department of Justice cited a May Supreme Court ruling allowing the president to remove federal labor board members without cause, arguing similar power applies here, while dissenting justices cited the 90-year-old Humphrey's Executor precedent.
- The Supreme Court's decision will affect presidential authority over independent agencies and agency stability, as litigation continues around the commission's leadership and removal limits.
