The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to reconsider its past rulings on key issues of presidential and executive authority, signaling a potential shift toward expanding presidential powers. The Court has recently overturned significant precedents, including the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and the 1984 federal agency deference ruling, reflecting a conservative push to reshape legal doctrines. A current case challenges the 1935 Humphrey's Executor precedent, which limits presidential firing authority over independent agencies, with the Trump administration urging the Court to overturn it to enhance executive control. This case involves the firing of FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, and its outcome could significantly impact the independence of federal agencies and administrative law. Conservative justices, led by Chief Justice Roberts, have historically favored broad presidential powers, emphasizing the unitary executive theory, while Justice Kagan advocates for maintaining established separation-of-powers principles. The Court's decisions could further weaken constraints on presidential authority, affecting agencies like the Federal Reserve and others. The Court's approach under Roberts and the conservative majority indicates a trend toward eroding traditional checks on executive power, with implications for governance, regulation, and the balance of powers in the U.S. government.
