90-Year Rule Overturned: The President Can Now Fire Federal Agency Heads

For 90 years, a Supreme Court ruling called Humphrey's Executor shielded federal agency
commissioners from being fired by the president. The Court just threw it out. Cleta Mitchell walks Jenny Beth Martin through what Humphrey's Executor actually was, why it allowed the rise of agencies that called themselves "independent" of the president, and what the Court's new ruling means for accountability in the executive branch. She also explains the companion ruling on the Federal Reserve governor - where the Court said the president can fire her, but must follow due process
first. The administrative state just got a major check. And Cleta explains why a consistent constitutional
philosophy from the chief justice matters more than most people realize. Subscribe to The Jenny Beth Show for daily constitutional conservatism:
