US Supreme Court Broadens Presidential Power in Landmark Rulings

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a series of decisions that expand the executive branch’s authority. The justices affirmed President Donald Trump’s power to dismiss officials in independent federal agencies and upheld his ability to set global tariffs under emergency statutes. The Court also ruled that the president may remove regulators, while preserving the Federal Reserve’s independence.

In immigration matters, the Court struck down Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship, but it upheld the removal of Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of Haitian and Syrian migrants, opening the path to deportation. Additional rulings addressed election practices, allowing late-arriving mail ballots with proper postmarks to be counted, and upheld state bans on transgender athletes in school sports. The decisions are expected to shape U.S. politics and policy for years to come.
