The U.S. Supreme Court has determined that President Trump is currently permitted to dismiss President Biden’s three appointees to the Consumer Product Safety Commission without justification.
This ruling signifies a further decline of a 90-year-old precedent designed to protect the autonomy of specific regulatory bodies in deference to the authority of the Executive Branch, as reported by NPR.
“The Consumer Product Safety Commission wields executive power in a manner akin to the National Labor Relations Board, and the case does not differ from Wilcox in any significant way,” the court stated in its ruling.
