That's despite the fact that Congress stipulated that members of the FTC can only be fired for cause, such as neglect of duty or malfeasance.
The conservative majority found that kind of constraint on the president's power is unconstitutional. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that as head of the executive branch the president must be able to fire those serving under him who wield executive power, noting the FTC enforces some 80 statutes covering nearly every facet of the economy. In a separate five to four decision, the court carved out a limited exception for members
of the Federal Reserve, Andrea Shew and PR News. That car by the Supreme Court allows Lisa Cook to keep her job on the governing board at least for now.
“The Supreme Court has upheld a Mississippi law that allows election officials to count”
male and ballots postmarked by election day but received up to five days later. The ruling is a setback for the Republican Party which brought the case ahead of this year's midterm elections. 18 states and territories, including Mississippi, have such male ballot grace periods.

the state of our moves in recent days. The Justice Department is changing the name of the division that focuses on environmental litigation and enforcement. We have more on this from NPR's Jacqueline Diaz. The new name for the DOJ's environmental and natural resources division emphasizes the
agency's work on energy security. That's according to DOJ leadership who announced the change in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. The division will now be called the Energy and Natural Resources Division. The DOJ says it's being done to highlight tech advances in the production and use of domestic energy.

South Africa, two to one, and PR's Jasmine Garz explains any team that loses goes home. From here on out there is no such thing as a game ending in a draw. If after a 90-minute game the teams are even, they play an extra 30 minutes. If they're still tied after that the game goes to penalties.
