The Trump administration says the ruling that prohibits a president from removing officials must be overturned
A case determining whether Donald Trump can fire independent agency officials has begun to be debated.
The first to speak was Solicitor General D. John Sauer, representing the Trump administration in the debate.
In his opening statement, he said that the landmark 90-year-old precedent — "Humphrey's Executor" — "must be overturned."
He described the ruling as a "decaying shell with bold and especially dangerous overreach," ultimately creating a "headless fourth branch of government" that is isolated from political accountability and democratic control.
