President Donald Trump has fired at least seven people who sit on independent boards because he disagrees with their views.

The independent boards set interest rates, insure bank accounts, investigate airplane crashes, regulate public airwaves, enforce workplace discrimination laws.

A 1935 decision prevented a president from firing a member of Federal Trade Commission and paved the way for independent boards to wield power freely.

The case from the fired FTC commissioners, Slaughter and Bedoya , is in federal District Court in Washington , D.C. They’re asking the judge to reinstate them and declare that it’s illegal for Trump to fire an FTC commissioner.

The Trump administration has not filed a response to the lawsuit, but Trump said Humphreys Executor was a very narrow decision that does not apply to the current FTC .
