Trump v. Cook · ¶186

Consider first the President’s likelihood of success on the merits. If the Court were to grant certiorari at this stage of the litigation, we would normally limit our consideration to the specific issues on which the courts below passed. See F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd v. Empagran S. A., 542 U. S. 155, 175 (2004). Those issues are (1) whether removal “for cause” is limited to removal for in-office conduct, and (2) whether the President’s attempt to remove Cook violated the Due Process Clause.
