Seila Law v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

This case arose when the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tried to enforce an investigative demand against Seila Law, and Seila Law argued that the CFPB was structured unconstitutionally. The Court considered whether the CFPB’s single-director leadership, insulated from presidential removal except for cause, violated the separation of powers and, if so, whether that removal restriction could be cut out while leaving the rest of the agency intact.
