The Supreme Court is deliberating on significant cases that could alter the landscape of presidential authority, particularly regarding the ability of former President Trump to dismiss officials in independent agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Recent rulings enable Trump to fire FTC commissioners, including Democratic members, without cause. This series of decisions reflects a potential shift in legal precedent concerning executive power, possibly overturning a 90-year-old ruling that has historically limited presidential removal authority over agency officials. Legal experts warn that these changes could significantly expand presidential influence over independent agencies and diminish their autonomy, raising concerns about the implications for future governance.
