Looking Back at Humphrey’s Executor
The Supreme Court is considering overturning the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor v. United States decision, which established congressional authority to create independent agencies. The case could redefine the balance of power between the executive branch and independent regulatory bodies, with liberals and conservatives holding opposing views compared to 1935. The current Court's potential reversal would impact agencies like the Federal Reserve and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
