Trump v. Slaughter · ¶9

When President Trump began his second term in January 2025, the FTC was led by two Republicans and three Democrats. On his first day in office, he designated a new Chair, replacing President Biden's pick. See 15 U. S. C. § 41 (permitting the President to choose a Chair “from the Commission's membership”). As is customary, the former Chair, Lina Khan, resigned her seat a few weeks later, permitting President Trump to appoint a replacement (contingent, of course, on the Senate's advice and consent). In the meantime, however, the FTC would be split down the middle.
