![President Trump is Chief of the Executive Branch, see U.S. CONST. Art. II, § 1 (the
“Vesting Clause”), and the Vesting Clause is the bedrock of his authority over that branch
of government. Id. Specifically, the Vesting Clause states that “The executive Power shall
be vested in a President of the United States of America.” Id.; see also Free Enter. Fund
v. Public Co. Acct. Oversight Bd., 561 U.S. 477, 496–97 (2010) (“[T]he President ‘cannot
delegate ultimate responsibility or the active obligation to supervise that goes with it,’
because Article II ‘makes a single President responsible for the actions of the Executive
Branch.’”) (citing Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 712–13, (1997)); Seila Law LLC v.
CFPB, 591 U.S. 197, 213 (2020) (“The entire executive Power belongs to the President
alone.”) (citation and quotation marks omitted). Indeed, just recently, the Supreme Court
cited Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52, 133 (1926) as a “landmark decision” and
“perhaps our best word on the subject” of whether the President could remove
subordinates in government service at will. Trump v. Slaughter, 609 U.S. __, slip op. at
16 (2026). Finding that he could, the majority ruled that “[s]ubordinates who exercise the
President’s power are subject to removal by him. Then, and only then, can they remain
accountable to the President, and the President to the people.” Id. at 36. “[T]hese officers
exercise the President’s power, not their own, and thus must be responsible to him.” Id.
at 35 (emphasis in original).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreia6p4hqwsnxszwdzdnx573uvo2w5o6w2ky6ytkvjsvnz5ekcdr5su)
