A Hard Look at the President's Removal Power

On this episode of A Hard Look, we examine the President’s power to remove independent agency officials. That’s right! We’re going all the way back to the 1935 landmark decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States. Helping us navigate this discussion is Daniel Wolff, Partner at Crowell & Moring LLP, and head of the firm’s administrative law practice. Tune in for an in-depth discussion on the future of executive authority and regulatory independence.
