The Supreme Court ruled Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump can fire independent agency commissioners without cause, overturning a 91-year-old precedent.
According to NS3.AI, the 6-3 decision reinstated Trump’s 2025 firing of Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter.
The court’s opinion did not name the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, but it noted that commissioners at both agencies serve under similar for-cause removal statutes.
Separately, Senate Republican leadership is pushing for a CLARITY Act floor vote next month.
