"FIRST TEST OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S POWER REACHES SUPREME COURT"

That is the title of New York Times article. In fact, the New York Times is afraid that "the court's conservative majority may be receptive to the arguments that presidents have unlimited power to remove leaders of independent agencies". The whole thing was started by firing of Hempton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel. Delinger responded by suing Trump administration. As a result, a U.S. federal judge issued a temporary order on last Wednesday, allowing Mr. Dellinger to keep his job until adjudication of the lawsuit. On Saturday, divided U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., rejected the Trump administration's request to overrule the lower court. The President's lawyers responded with an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the latter to rule on the question whether the President can fire the leader of an independent whistleblowing agency.
