SCOTUS declined to hear an appeal that sought to give the president control over independent federal agencies -- a rebuff for advocates of the idea that presidents should have broad power to fire the leaders of executive-branch agencies. https://t.co/2JR2oM6WP2
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal that sought to give the president control over independent federal agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. This decision also affects job protections for leaders of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, maintaining a New Deal-era precedent from 1935 that limits a president's ability to fire certain agency heads. The high court's refusal to review the case is a setback for advocates who support broad presidential powers over executive-branch agencies.
