United States, which involved removal protections for the FTC, the Supreme Court said Congress could restrict the president&#8217;s ability to fire officials from multi-member agencies at will.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the ruling from the high court&#8217;s conservative majority in the case Trump v. Slaughter overturns that 90-year-old decision and marks the culmination of a years-long weakening of the New Deal-era precedent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The decision is likely to have ramifications beyond the FTC. Congress has created more than two dozen multi-member agencies led by officials who can be removed by the president only for cause, which typically means instances of inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump has sought to test the bounds of his executive power since returning to the White House for his second term in January 2025, including by firing a slew of officials appointed by Democratic presidents at multi-member boards and commissions without cause.<\/p>\n<p>Among those was Rebecca Slaughter, whom Mr. Trump appointed to the FTC during his first term. She was reappointed to the trade commission by President Joe Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Slaughter was informed in March 2025 that her service on the FTC was &#8220;inconsistent&#8221; with the Trump administration&#8217;s priorities and was fired from her post without cause. That clashed with the law that established the FTC in 1914, when Congress said commissioners could only be removed for inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.<\/p>\n<p>Slaughter filed a lawsuit challenging her removal and argued Mr. Trump broke the law when he fired her. A federal district court ruled in her favor and ordered Slaughter to be reinstated to her post. The U.S. appeals court in Washington, D.C., eventually agreed that she could continue in her job at the trade commission, but last September, the Supreme Court <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/supreme-court-trump-ftc\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">allowed Mr. Trump to fire her<\/a><\/span> while it considered the legality of removal protections for FTC members.<\/p>\n<p>Before agreeing to decide Slaughter&#8217;s case, the Supreme Court had also <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/supreme-court-allows-trump-to-fire-labor-board-members\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">cleared the way for Mr. Trump to oust<\/a><\/span> members of the National Labor Relations Board, Merit Systems Protection Board and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/supreme-court-lets-trump-fire-three-members-of-consumer-product-safety-commission\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a><\/span>. But the high court has so far <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/supreme-court-trump-fire-lisa-cook\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">spared two other officials<\/a><\/span> from removal while litigation continues: Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s Board of Governors, and Shira Perlmutter, the register of copyrights.<\/p>\n<p>The justices heard arguments in January over whether to allow Mr. Trump to fire Cook from the Fed Board. The Supreme Court has indicated before that it views the Fed differently than other independent agencies, calling it a &#8220;uniquely structured, quasi-private entity that follows in the distinct historical tradition of the First and Second Banks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In an opinion also authored by Roberts, the high court <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/supreme-court-federal-reserve-lisa-cook-firing\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">rejected<\/a><\/span> Mr. Trump&#8217;s attempt to fire Cook while the challenge to her removal moved forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The high court&#8217;s decision in Slaughter&#8217;s case is the latest in a line of recent decisions that <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-firings-agencies-boards-supreme-court-precedent\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">chipped away <\/a><\/span>at Humphrey&#8217;s Executor and expanded the president&#8217;s power over independent agencies.
