EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
US Supreme Court lets stand lower court ruling upholding presidential power to remove independent board officials without cause.
The U.S. Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a legal development this week, declining to revisit his dismissal of a Democratic appointee.
The justices rejected an appeal from Gwynne Wilcox, a member of the National Labor Relations Board.
Their decision leaves standing a lower court ruling that upheld Trump’s authority to remove her. The action could significantly matter for an unresolved dispute involving the National Credit Union Administration.
