US Supreme Court ruling impacts presidential power over federal agencies
The US Supreme Court issued a ruling that expands presidential authority regarding the removal of officials from independent federal agencies. While the court upheld some of President Trump's past firings and allowed for broader presidential power, it also blocked an attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, preserving the central bank's autonomy in that instance. The decision has implications for the balance of power between the presidency and independent regulatory bodies.
