Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, fired by President Trump from the FTC, have sued the administration, arguing their removals contravene a 1935 Supreme Court ruling against for-cause terminations. Both commissioners assert their dismissals lack legal justification, addressing concerns about undermining the agency's independence. Their lawsuit seeks to restore their positions, highlighting implications for other independent agencies. Trump’s administration maintains the firings were constitutional, asserting the need for accountability. The case raises significant questions about presidential authority over independent regulatory bodies amid ongoing debates on government oversight and legislative integrity.
