Justices rule Trump cannot fire Fed member, but grants more power over independent agencies

The Supreme Court dealt President Trump a blow by ruling that he couldn't dismiss Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook, upholding her position despite his attempts. However, the ruling also granted Trump more authority to influence other independent federal agencies, reshaping the relationship between the executive branch and these entities. This decision highlights ongoing tensions about presidential power versus institutional independence, with broader implications for future administrations navigating these complex dynamics.
