US Supreme Court Grants Trump Power to Remove Heads of Independent Agencies

The US Supreme Court has made two significant rulings, allowing President Donald Trump to remove the heads of independent federal agencies. The court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that the president can remove top officials from independent regulatory agencies. However, it emphasized that the Federal Reserve's (Fed) independent status would be preserved.The decision largely eliminates the job protection that Congress has provided to independent agency officials for decades. It also significantly increases the president's control over the executive branch.
