The Application
History
Lisa Cook challenged her removal as Federal Reserve governor. Judge Cobb granted a preliminary injunction finding Cook likely succeeded on the merits and allowing her to remain in office, leading the government to appeal to the DC Circuit.
The Conclusion
On appeal in the DC Circuit, the government challenges both the scope of presidential removal authority and the propriety of the preliminary injunction; the outcome will clarify the boundaries of executive power over independent agency leadership.
