Supreme Court strikes down limits on Trump removing FTC members

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn a longstanding precedent means that President Trump can now remove members of certain independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission without needing congressional approval. This ruling dismantles a safeguard that previously protected these members from presidential dismissal, potentially increasing the influence of the executive branch over independent regulatory bodies. This shift could have significant implications for how future presidents manage these agencies, affecting everything from consumer protection to antitrust enforcement.
