Trump v. Cook · ¶32

The Government appears to concede that at least some judicial review of a removal is available. It admits that “federal courts may review the removal of a Federal Reserve Board member when, for instance, the President identifies no cause at all.” Application 20. But the only way for us to tell whether the President has identified cause under the statute is to interpret the statute, and decipher what precisely it means by “cause.” As the Government acknowledges in its supplemental brief, it is the task of a “[r]eviewing court[]” to “discern the boundaries of the President’s power” under the Federal Reserve Act. Supp. Brief for Applicant 13 (internal quotation marks omitted).
