Trump: Scores Major Victory at Supreme Court, President Has Authority to Remove Executive Branch Officials

US President Trump posted: "We just secured a major victory in the Supreme Court’s Slaughter case. The court confirmed that, under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, the president has the authority to remove executive branch officials as well as officers or representatives appointed by executive agencies. This ruling is a long-sought outcome for successive U.S. presidents since the 1930s. I am deeply honored to have won this historic, unprecedented ruling as the sitting president. This is one of the most important rulings concerning presidential power issues." Earlier reports noted that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to allow Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to remain in office temporarily, and the removal dispute between her and President Donald Trump will continue to be resolved through judicial proceedings.
