Supreme Court prepares to issue rulings in major cases affecting Trump administration policies and powers
The Supreme Court is set to issue rulings by the end of June 2026 in multiple high-profile cases with direct implications for Trump's presidency, including challenges to his firing authority, tariff orders, and birthright citizenship policies. The court has already ruled in two cases this term and has more than a dozen remaining decisions pending. Key cases include Trump v. Slaughter, which questions the president's ability to dismiss independent agency heads without cause.
