Trump v. Cook · ¶116

The Court of Appeals for the D. C. Circuit denied a stay pending appeal. Although there was no opinion for the court, Judge Garcia, joined by Judge Childs, wrote a concurring opinion. Judge Garcia relied solely on the Due Process Clause, explaining that the President’s removal of Cook likely deprived her of her “property interest in her position.” 2025 WL 2654786, *1 (Sept. 15, 2025). He did not address Cook’s argument that the President’s removal was not for “cause” under the Federal Reserve Act or that a “for cause” removal provision implicitly requires notice and a hearing. He also did not hold that Cook satisfied the heightened standard for ultra vires or mandamus relief.
