Justices greenlight Trump’s executive firing spree, slaughtering 90 years of precedent

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, overturned a 90-year-old precedent (Humphrey’s Executor v. United States) that limited presidential authority to remove executive board commissioners. The decision allows President Donald Trump to fire such commissioners, expanding executive power. The ruling impacts regulatory agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), where Trump sought to terminate Democratic commissioner Rebecca Slaughter.
