Trump v. Slaughter · ¶155

This case should have begun and ended with this Court's unanimous decision from almost a century ago: Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U. S. 602. Humphrey's addressed the very statute at issue here, which allows the President to remove FTC Commissioners only “ `for ineffciency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office,' ” and upheld its constitutionality against the very same challenge levied in this case. Id., at 620; see id., at 629, 631–632.
