Notable court cases

Welcome to Ballotpedia’s Learning Journey on notable court cases related to executive power.

We are excited for you to join us and deepen your understanding the extent of the president’s appointment and removal powers. Executive control of administrative agencies is one of five pillars key to understanding the administrative state.

The president’s authority to appoint and remove top agency officials, such as department secretaries and agency administrators, is an important function for the president to exercise control over the executive branch. This Learning Journey guides you through the judicial cases that have shaped the executive appointment and removal power.
