DECIDED

Trump v. Slaughter

On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court overruled its 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States and clarified that Congress cannot restrict the President’s authority to remove FTC commissioners at will. The decision was a victory for WLF, which filed amicus brief contending that the FTC’s removal protections gravely distorted the Constitution’s history, text, and structure.
