The Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal Reserve's independence is protected, preventing President Trump from firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook without cause. This decision, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, emphasizes the necessity of insulating monetary policy from political influence. However, in a separate ruling, the Court overturned the nearly century-old Humphrey's Executor precedent, allowing presidents greater latitude to remove leaders of other independent agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission, if legal cause can be established.
