Supreme Court issues opinions on two key federal employment cases
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that President Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook without due process, while a separate 6-3 decision granted him authority to remove leaders of other independent agencies. The rulings created a 'Federal Reserve exception' to presidential power, allowing Trump to reshape regulatory bodies like the Federal Trade Commission.
