A leading originalist law professor, Caleb E. Nelson, has challenged the long-held conservative legal position by arguing that the Constitution's text and history grant Congress broad authority to shape the executive branch and limit the president's power to fire officials.

President Trump's administration is pushing the Supreme Court to allow him to fire leaders of independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission without cause, which threatens their independence and could extend to the Federal Reserve.
