Trump, President of United States v. Slaughter

Whether the statutory removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission violate the separation of powers and, if so, whether Humphrey's Executor v. United States should be overruled.

This case examines whether the President has the authority to fire a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioner at will, despite federal laws that only allow removal for specific causes like inefficiency or neglect of duty. The Court is reconsidering longstanding precedents that protect the independence of certain federal agency leaders from presidential control.
