The arched FTC Commissioners overthrew the shooting

Rebecca Kelly Siloter and Alvaru Bedoya, Democratic Commissioners of the Federal Trade Committee that were launched earlier this month by President Donald Trump without a specific reason, Donald Trump’s prosecution and FTC leadership To expel them. The lawsuit prepares a possible confrontation with regard to the presidential authority in terms of its connection with independent agencies.

Slaughter and Bedoya, which is represented by the non -authoritarian organization, seeks to obtain salaries and restore its role in the committee. But more than that, they hope to defend successfully Humphrey, the executor against the United StatesThe 90 -year -old Supreme Court decision, which emphasized the commissioners of the Federal Trade Committee, cannot be removed, as desired by the president.

Bedoya Gizmodo told him that he had received an email to inform him of the shooting while in the gymnastics separation of his daughter. “What is unusual about it is that there was no reason,” he said. The FTC Law, which was supported by the Supreme Court in 1935, states that commissioners can only be rejected by the president for one of the three reasons: incompetence, neglect of duty or violations in his position.

None of these were presented in a hands -up or slaughtering chapter. Instead, the termination speeches stated that the FTC Commissioner service was “inconsistent” with the Trump administration’s priorities.

Part of the reason for this decision made by the Trump administration may be the challenge of government in the Humphrey case in the United States, which could open the door to remove other commissioners to the agencies that were designed to work independently.

“By expelling the commissioners, the president participates in an illegal attempt to strip the Congress from his authority. If he is accepted, any president in the future, whether Republican or democratic, can exercise these powers to punish enemies and reward friends.” “The consequences are not abstract. It is not a theory.”

Davidson explained that FTC is part of a group of independent agencies created by Congress, all designed in a similar way with similar protection for removal, in theory, the commissioners should be isolated from removing them for no reason.

Bidoya said that he had not initially happened to him that the goal of the administration is to shoot him and slaughter may go beyond the president’s control over FTC. Executor Humphrey specifically applies to FTC, so attacking the protection of Commissioners is a logical entry point for the challenge of the law. But it has effects that exceed the agency.

“This is the main thing, though, not only we who have this language,” said Bidoya. “If the president is able to break this 90 -year -old rule in the American legal system, this does not only concern us (in FTC). It matters to the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Stock Exchange Committee, that is, a number of other agencies.”

“This is when I realized that they are not only trying to remove us. They are trying to break a precedent for everyone,” he said. Davidson also indicated, it has traces on the federal reserves and other agencies as well.

“If the president’s logic is accepted and was able to shoot FTC members as desired, there is no basis for a principle to discriminate the federal reserve at all,” Davidson said. “It opens the flood gates so that the president can extinguish the commissioners who historically practiced isolation and independence.” In the case of the Federal Reserve, Davidson said, “The president will be able to directly control monetary policy in ways that may have short -term political benefits for the president but have long -term devastating consequences for the American people.”

Project 2025, the book of political play collected by the Conservative Heritage Foundation to serve as a guide for the upcoming republican administration to unify the executive authority, explicitly calls for the Humphrey port of Bashqa that deserves the challenge. “The next conservative administration must formally take the position that the perpetrators of Humphrey violate the separation of the constitution from the authorities.” document Countries, which describe the law as “mature to reconsider – maybe sooner and not later.”

The Trump administration removed the other appoinals in the agencies – including a member of the National Labor Relations Council, which was finally restored after the Trump administration’s actions Illegal By a federal judge, although the Trump administration has resume decision. But the launch of the FTC Commissioners is the most direct attack on the perpetrators of Humphrey so far, and the Trump administration’s intention to make the Supreme Court to review the protection granted by the law.

It is likely that it has at least two sympathetic judges if its challenge reaches the highest court. In the 2020 Resolution related to the Financial Consumer Protection Office, Judge Clarence Thomas books In his opinion, “The decision in the perpetrators of Humphrey poses a direct threat to our constitutional structure, and as a result, the freedom of the American people.” Judge Neil Goroush joined this opinion.

Meanwhile, FTC, one of the agencies at the forefront of consumer protection, hinders some of what you can do – very tilted in actions that can still be taken. There are currently only commissioners sitting on the Board of Directors, which usually consists of five: President Andrew Ferguson and Commissioner Melissa Hollyuk, both Republicans.

Davidson explained that three commissioners are needed for light, which limits what the agency can do. However, Bedoya warned that the remaining Commissioners could choose to end the issues that the agency was pre -followed, including examining the privacy rules that apply to definition and challenge how Amazon dealt with small companies working on its platform.

And most importantly, Bedoya says, the fact that the shooting – must be rising – opens the possibility that the president will effectively be able to effectively the results of these cases instead of FTC. “In a world where any of us can be removed for any reason at any time, it does not matter what the commissioners think,” he explained. “They can obey, stay, or not, and see what is happening to them.”
