Trump v. Cook · ¶159

Cook lacks a right of action to enforce the terms of the Federal Reserve Act against government officials. No plaintiff, of course, can sue without a right of action. See Sandoval, 532 U. S., at 286. When seeking to enforce the terms of a federal statute, such as the Federal Reserve Act, that plaintiff ’s right of action must come from Congress, because “Congress determines who may sue to enforce federal law.” FS Credit v. Saba, 608 U. S. ＿＿＿, ＿＿＿ (2026) (slip op., at 3). When seeking to enforce the terms of a federal statute against the Government, which is otherwise immune from suit, the plaintiff must also demonstrate that the Government clearly consented to the suit. See Larson, 337 U. S., at 693.
