January 1, Supreme Court Holds Back Trump Firing Power
Wyatt’s Take
- The Supreme Court will wait to rule on Trump’s effort to fire a Federal Reserve member.
- Lisa Cook keeps her position until arguments in 2026.
- This is part of a bigger fight over presidential power to remove officials.
The Supreme Court has decided to hold off on making a final decision about whether President Trump can fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board. Their short statement says they will wait for a full argument set for January 2026.
Until then, Cook stays in her role. The legal fight started after Trump moved to fire Cook, a Biden pick, over allegations of mortgage fraud linked to properties in Michigan and Georgia, which she bought before joining the Fed.
Cook challenged her removal in federal court. Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, put a stop to Trump’s order, and higher courts have so far backed her.
The Trump administration argued to the Supreme Court that judges are getting in the way of the president’s right to fire people in government for a good reason.
“The Federal Reserve Act, ch. 6, 38 Stat. 251, broadly authorizes the President to dismiss members of the Board of Governors ‘for cause,’ without further restricting permissible types of cause,”
Solicitor General John Sauer wrote.
“This Court should stay the district court’s deeply flawed preliminary injunction and should grant an immediate administrative stay.”
This is the second time this term that the Supreme Court will look at whether the president can fire top officials. Another upcoming case focuses on Trump’s firing of a Federal Trade Commission member, which could overturn old rules that weakened the president’s control over government agencies.
Stay tuned for more as these fights could change how much power the president really has.
Wyatt Matters
This fight touches every American who believes in checks and balances. It’s about whether those in charge can be held responsible, and if the people we elect are truly in control of the government’s big offices.

cook is one example of why there are so many sorry people in government. They can’t be fired so they do as they like and can be as sorry of an employee as their conscience will permit and no one can do anything about it. Anyone over them trying to discipline them or fire them is just racist.
