A recent Supreme Court decision has given the president more control over independent federal agencies. The court ruled that the president can fire leaders of these agencies, specifically overturning a federal law that previously restricted this ability.

The decision was made with a 6-3 vote by the court's conservative majority, upholding a decision made by President Donald Trump. This ruling expands the president's power over independent agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission.
