Appeals Court Reinstates FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter A federal appeals court has restored Rebecca Kelly Slaughter to her role as a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. The 2–1 decision dissolved a temporary stay and reinstated a district court order requiring Slaughter’s return after she was fired by President Trump in March.

Legal basis: The majority said the government "has no likelihood of success on appeal" because Supreme Court precedent in Humphrey’s Executor (1935) protects independent-agency commissioners from removal except for cause ("inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office").
