The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments today regarding President Donald Trump's unprecedented attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. This case, which has captured national attention, raises critical constitutional questions about presidential authority, due process rights, and the independence of the Federal Reserve.
On August 25, 2025, President Trump announced via Truth Social that Lisa Cook was removed from her role as Federal Reserve governor. This marked the first time since the Federal Reserve was founded in 1913 that a sitting president has attempted to oust a Fed governor. The announcement came without advance notice or a hearing, prompting questions about whether this method satisfies constitutional due process requirements.
