The ruling overturns the 1934 'Humphrey's Executor' precedent, which protected independent agency members from presidential firing.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that President Donald Trump did have the authority to fire Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. The 6-3 ruling gives Trump and future presidents the power to remove members of supposedly independent federal agencies that carry out functions under the executive branch of government. [...] Trump, in a Truth Social post on the ruling, called it a "BIG WIN." [...] Slaughter, in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street," said she was "disappointed in the ruling." [...] Justice Sonia Sotomayor [...] blasted the Slaughter ruling in a scathing dissent [...] Sen. Dick Durbin [...] said, "The Supreme Court just overturned well-established precedent to greenlight Donald Trump's threats to independent federal agencies."
