Supreme Court blocks Trump from firing Federal Reserve’s Lisa Cook
ONP Summary
The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump lacks the constitutional authority to unilaterally remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her position. In a 5-4 decision, the Court rejected Trump's effort to fire her, allowing Cook to remain in her role while the underlying legal challenge continues in lower courts. The ruling reinforces the institutional independence of the Federal Reserve from executive removal power.
