The Supreme Court’s September 2025 stay allowed President Trump’s removal of FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter to take effect while the justices consider the underlying challenge to statutory for-cause protections. During December oral arguments, a clear majority of justices questioned the continuing validity of Humphrey’s Executor and signaled openness to recognizing broader presidential removal authority over independent-agency officials under Article II. This posture has shaped trader consensus around a 74.7 percent implied probability that the Court will ultimately uphold the firing and limit or overrule the 1935 precedent. A final ruling is expected by late June, with the outcome turning on whether the justices treat FTC commissioners as exercising core executive power that cannot be insulated from at-will presidential control.
