About the Program
On June 29, 2026, the US Supreme Court overturned long-standing precedent that protected heads of independent federal agencies. In Trump v. Slaughter, the Court ruled that Congress could no longer insulate heads of executive agencies with statutory “for cause” removal protections. By making executive agencies more dependent to the Executive Branch, the Supreme Court has created an avenue for alternating policy making in agencies ranging from the FCC to the EEOC. However, the Court also carved out one exception in a separate case decided that same day—Trump v. Cook—with respect to the Federal Reserve. With more cases looming on the Supreme Court docket, many question how to reconcile the two seemingly conflicting cases and how these decisions will impact federal administrative law.
You Will Learn
- About the Presidential Removal Power from Humphrey's Executor to Trump v. Slaughter

- About the analysis of Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook
