Trump v. Cook · ¶46

In sum, a court may order that a removed Governor remain in office during the pendency of litigation if the Governor is otherwise entitled to a preliminary injunction. Otherwise, a President could remove a Governor even while litigation over the removal was ongoing—and could do so for very lengthy periods of time without substantial cause for removal. That would significantly interfere with the independence of the Federal Reserve.
