On a temporary basis, the United States Supreme Court has approved an emergency request from the Trump administration to remove members from two independent federal agency boards. The case involves President Donald Trump's decision to dismiss Gwen Wilcox, a member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) who has three years remaining in her term, and Cathy Harris, a member of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) with four years left in her term. The Supreme Court's decision is provisional, meaning it allows the removals to proceed while further legal proceedings continue. Independent agencies like the NLRB and MSPB are typically structured to limit presidential control, with board members serving fixed terms to ensure agency independence. The Court's move may have implications for the balance of power between the executive branch and independent federal agencies, and could affect how future presidents interact with such boards. The final outcome will depend on further judicial review.
