Supreme Court rules president cannot remove trade commissioners
The Supreme Court holds the president lacks constitutional authority to dismiss federal trade commissioners except for causes listed in the federal trade commission act. The Humphrey executor argued the commission members are independent of the presidency, challenging Roosevelt’s 1933 removal of Humphrey. Justice Sutherland wrote the majority with McReynolds dissenting, leaving Humphrey’s salary claim unresolved.
