Two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday sued President Trump on the decision to set him on fire, accused him of illegally accusing executive power.
Mr. Trump fired Democratic Commissioners, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya on 18 March, which usually leaves three members from the President’s party and two opponents from the President’s party.
In a case filed in the District Court of the United States for Columbia district, Ms. Slotter’s lawyers and Mr. Bedoya argued that Mr. Trump’s dismissal was without him without any reason and violated the federal law. They quoted 1935 Supreme Court Eastern Said that the Presidents cannot give more fire to the members of the Independent Regulatory Board completely with policy disagreement.
“In short, this is the bedock, the example is that a president cannot remove the FTC commissioner without any reason,” the trial said. “The President’s action is uncertain under the governing law.”
The White House, which did not immediately respond to the request of the comment, said that “President Trump has a valid right to manage personnel within the executive branch”.
The lawsuit was the latest legal battle for Mr. Trump’s explosion to expand the efforts to expand the power of the presidential post. In recent months, the action taken by the administration in many cases in more than 50 court decisions has been temporarily stopped, with its aggressive stance on exile to firing of civil servants.
The legal battle has also influenced the regulators that the Congress has established to be independent of direct white house control. While regulators are appointed by the President, many traditionally have a broad latitude to determine the direction of their agencies.
But Mr. Trump first fired a Democrat Gwen Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board, which was restored by a federal court this month. The administration has appealed for that decision.
Mr. Trump also signed an executive order last month, which affected the FTC, Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Communications Commission and National Labor Relations Board. The executive order directed the agencies to submit the proposed rules for review to the White House, as well as declare that they should accept the interpretations of the law made by the President and the Department of Justice among other measures.
The trial of Ms. Slotter and Mr. Bedoya also nominated the two Republican FTC commissioners – the chairman of the agency, Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holck – as defendants. He also named David B. Robins, the executive director of the agency.
The 1914 law establishing the FTC states that the commissioners can be removed from the five -member board for “disability, neglect or office malfunction”. The Supreme Court strengthened the security in the 1930s when President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to set fire to a member of FTC
In a letter sent by Mr. Trump last week, informing one of the commissioners of termination, the White House said that the security established by the Supreme Court’s decision did not apply to those who led the FTC today.
Mr. Ferguson said in a statement last week that he had “no doubt” about the constitutional right of the President to remove his colleagues. The FTC did not immediately respond to the request of the comment on the trial.
In the trial, the lawyers of Ms. Slotter and Mr. Bedoya stated that both have been “denied access to their offices” and now they have been listed as former members of the Commission on the FTC website. According to the trial, their employees have also been kept on the administration leave.
FTC Corporate is responsible for some of the biggest performances between the US and the federal government. In April, the agency is facing an antitrust trial against Meta, owner of Mata, Facebook, Instagram and other apps, whether the tech veterans illegally affected newborn competitors on buying Instagram and WhatsApp.
FTC has also filed cases against Amazon, arguing that it has become difficult for consumers to cancel their major membership service and squeeze small traders who use its site.
Under Sri Ferguson, the agency has focused on the power of large online platforms on speeches and discourses. Last month, the agency began to urge the people and businesses, who said their positions were improperly removed by social media sites.
