The One Institution Trump Can’t Control
"The court ruled that the president has the power to remove leaders of certain independent agencies like the Fed. 6-3, which means all of the liberal justices were against it."
Chris Cuomo argues the Supreme Court made the right decision in Trump v. Slaughter, ruling 6-3 that presidents can fire heads of executive agencies, though with some due process requirements. The decision emphasized the Constitution's vesting of executive power in the president. All three liberal justices dissented, seeking to limit presidential authority over independent agencies.
