High Court Bolsters Presidential Authority Over Independent Agencies

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, has significantly expanded presidential power by ruling that the President can remove heads of certain independent regulatory agencies without cause. This decision, stemming from *Trump v. Slaughter*, overturns an 80-year-old precedent and grants the executive branch greater control over bodies like the Federal Trade Commission, though it specifically excluded the Federal Reserve from this expanded authority.
