WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014\u00a0The Supreme Court\u00a0on Monday dramatically expanded presidential power, upholding President Donald Trump\u2019s firings of the heads of independent federal agencies with one important exception, the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n

The justices allowed Fed governor Lisa Cook to stay in her job while she fights the Republican president\u2019s effort to fire her over allegations of mortgage fraud, which she has denied.<\/p>\n

But other than at the nation\u2019s central bank, with its role of setting interest rates, the court held that presidents have free rein to fire agency heads at will, despite federal laws that require a cause for such dismissals and a\u00a091-year-old decision\u00a0that had limited executive authority.<\/p>\n

With the six conservative justices in the majority, the nine-member court jettisoned its unanimous decision in Humphrey\u2019s Executor that had limited when presidents can fire agencies\u2019 board members \u2014 in part to try to ensure decision-making free of political influence.<\/p>\n

The justices ruled in the case of former Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter, whom Trump fired without cause despite a provision of federal law that requires a reason. The logic of the decision extends to other agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board, the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, where Trump also has fired board members.<\/p>\n

In Cook\u2019s case, the court voted 5-4 to reject the Trump administration\u2019s effort to get Cook out of her job now. Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the three liberal justices were in the majority.<\/p>\n

Cook was\u00a0nominated to the Fed\u2019s Board of Governors\u00a0by then-President Joe Biden, a Democrat.<\/p>\n
