Supreme Court on verge of using flawed theory to grant Trump unprecedented power: expert [View all]

The Supreme Court is poised to hear Trump v. Slaughter, a case that could fundamentally reshape the balance of power between the presidency and Congress.

At issue is whether President Donald Trump can fire the heads of independent federal agencies at will — a power the Constitution does not explicitly grant and which the Supreme Court unanimously rejected nearly a century ago, wrote New York Times columnist Kate Shaw, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

"Today’s Republican-appointed justices appear to be firmly under the sway of an a textual and a historic theory — the unitary executive theory — that demands complete presidential control over essentially every government agency and insists that the power to fire agency heads at will is an indispensable part of such control," Shaw wrote.
