In a major victory for the rule of law and the separation of powers, the Court held that in order for federal officers to remain accountable to the President, those officers “must be removable by the President.”

For nearly ninety years, the Court’s 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor has stripped presidents of control over so-called “independent” agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)—allowing unelected bureaucrats to wield executive power without accountability—one of the most damaging precedents in American history.

Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes that executive power is vested in the President alone. AFL’s brief explained that this case was not about expanding presidential power, but restoring constitutional order. [AmericaFirstLegal]
