High court issues split decisions on Trump’s control of executive board members

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered mixed verdicts on President Trump's control over executive board members, ruling that he can fire Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter but cannot remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve's board. This split decision has major implications for presidential authority over executive board appointments, highlighting the ongoing debate over executive power versus individual rights. While Trump gains some ground, the ruling on Cook suggests a check on presidential overreach, underscoring the court's role in balancing executive power with individual protections.
