TechFlow news, May 23 — On May 22, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court granted by majority vote President Trump's emergency application for a stay, allowing the president to remove members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) without cause. The majority opinion held that the president has the authority to remove officials who exercise executive power on his behalf, and that the government's risk outweighs that of an erroneously removed official. However, the court explicitly stated this decision does not apply to the Federal Reserve, calling it a "structurally unique quasi-private entity," thereby protecting Federal Reserve Chair Powell from removal.
