BC Law panel explores presidential power, the independence of federal agencies, and constitutional questions facing the Supreme Court. A recent Supreme Court ruling expanding presidential authority over independent federal agencies has reignited a constitutional debate over the limits of executive power and the future of agency independence. The court's decision in Trump v. Slaughter expanded presidential authority to remove heads of independent federal agency, overturning a nearly century-old precedent. The discussion was conducted by the BC Law Federalist Society and featured University of Michigan Law Professor Christopher Walker and BC Law Professor Daniel Lyons. The panelists argued that while Walker supported the Court’s recognition of presidential removal authority over agency leaders, it may not extend to lower-level officials. Lyons questioned whether the Supreme Court could embrace broad presidential removal power while preserving special protections for the Federal Reserve.
