| For over a century, the U.S. Congress has protected the heads of certain administrative agencies from being removed by the President for reasons of policy differences—or simply for no reasons at all. Since its 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor, the U.S. Supreme Court has squarely recognized Congress’s constitutional authority to provide such removal protection at certain agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve. The Court’s recent decision in Trump v. Slaughter, however, overruled Humphrey’s Executor and has fundamentally altered the constitutional relationship between Congress, the President, and federal agencies.
Join the Penn Program on Regulation for an online panel discussion exploring the Slaughter decision and its implications for the future of the U.S. administrative state. The discussion will feature a group of leading experts on administrative law and public administration:
- Cary Coglianese, Edward B. Shils Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science, Penn (moderator);
- Brian D. Feinstein, Associate Professor of Legal Studies & Business Ethics, the Wharton School;
- Don Moynihan, J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Professor of Public Policy, University of Michigan;
- Kate Shaw, Professor of Law, Penn Carey Law;
- Christopher S. Yoo, Imasogie Professor in Law and Technology, Professor of Communication, and Professor of Computer and Information Science, Penn.
In addition to addressing how Slaughter is likely to affect the structure, operation, and authority of agencies that had previously been independent, the panel will explore the Court’s exception from the Slaughter decision for the Federal Reserve … and much more.
This free online event is open to the public. All are welcome!
