Lawyers for the US FTC's last remaining Democrat have told the US Supreme Court that allowing US President Donald Trump to remove members of independent agencies would weaken the legal basis for the Fed's independence. Lawyers for US FTC (FTC) Commissioner Slaughter made the argument in a filing to the Supreme Court, asking the court to allow her to remain in office while the Trump administration's appeal is heard. Trump is seeking to overturn a 90-year-old Supreme Court decision that allows Congress to create independent agencies and protect their leaders from being fired.
