The Supreme Court is set to review a 90-year-old rule that could make President Donald Trump even more powerful than he already is. On Monday, the court said that it is considering overturning the said rule that limits the President’s powers when it comes to the workings of independent agencies.
If implemented, Trump would have the power to fire board members of such organisations. In addition to that, he will also be the decision maker when it comes to the grounds for firing. Earlier, commissioners could only be removed from their positions if they were found guilty of misconduct and neglect of duty. But, under the new ruling, there would be no specific rules for firing.
