Episode Details

The Supreme Court just gutted a century-old shield for federal agency heads, letting presidents fire them at will — a major power grab that reshapes executive control. But one exception stands out: Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, whose removal attempt was blocked by a divided court, highlighting the Fed’s unique legal protection. This ruling overturns Humphrey’s Executor, ending decades of insulation against political pressure — with ripple effects across agencies — while leaving the Fed’s independence intact for now. The battle over presidential power vs. institutional autonomy is far from over.
