Quick Summary
The Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding President Trump’s firing of a Federal Trade Commission member, testing presidential power over agencies.
The case questions the constitutionality of laws restricting presidential removal of independent agency leaders, potentially overturning a 1935 Supreme Court decision.
A broad ruling favoring Trump could allow presidents to dismiss unelected experts for any reason, affecting regulatory bodies and their independence.
