Trump’s firing power faces twin Supreme Court tests, but one agency may get special treatment

The Supreme Court is considering two cases involving President Donald Trump's authority to remove federal officials: Slaughter v. Trump, which challenges statutory limits on firing Federal Trade Commission commissioners, and Trump v. Cook, which examines whether Trump met the 'for cause' requirement for removing a Federal Reserve Governor. Legal experts suggest the Court may treat the Federal Reserve as a distinct entity with unique constitutional considerations.
