The Trump administration has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the president to fire three Democratic members of the independent Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). These commissioners were dismissed by President Trump in May but were subsequently reinstated by a federal judge who ruled that their removal was unlawful. The administration is seeking an emergency stay on the judge's order to reinstate the commissioners, arguing that the injunction prevents the president from having his preferred team in place. The Supreme Court is being asked to intervene and determine the president's authority to remove these members amid concerns about the impact on the commission's functioning and public safety. The legal dispute centers on the balance of presidential removal powers and the independence of the CPSC.
