This major case tests the scope of presidential power over government agencies designed by Congress to be independent.
It lifted a judge’s order that had shielded Slaughter from being dismissed from the consumer protection and antitrust agency before her term expires in 2029.
The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the order letting Trump remove Slaughter while the case proceeds.
Similar protections cover officials at other independent agencies including the National Labor Relations Board and Merit Systems Protection Board.
The firings drew sharp criticism from Democratic senators and antimonopoly groups concerned about eliminating opposition to big corporations.
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit kept the judge’s ruling in place in September.
This ruling referenced the 1935 Supreme Court precedent in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States.
The Supreme Court in January will hear separate arguments over Trump’s attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, though justices left her in the post for now.
That case involves the first-ever bid by a president to fire a Fed official as he challenges the central bank’s independence. – Reuters
