በAI የተዘገበ በ AI የተሰራ ምስል
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled that President Donald Trump can remove commissioners from independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission without cause. In a 6-3 decision in Trump v. Slaughter, the court overturned a 1935 precedent. A separate 5-4 ruling in Trump v. Cook preserved limits on firing Federal Reserve board members.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on December 8, 2025, in Trump v. Slaughter, a case examining whether President Donald Trump may remove Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Kelly Slaughter without cause. The justices’ questions suggested a sharp divide over limits on presidential power and the future of a 90‑year‑old precedent that has helped insulate independent agencies from at‑will firings.
