The U. S.
Supreme Court is set to release decisions on June 29, 2026, for seven remaining cases from its current term, including major disputes over President Donald Trump's executive powers.
Among the pending rulings are three cases testing the limits of presidential authority, two election-related disputes, and a state law on transgender athletes.
Executive Power Cases
The court will decide whether a president can fire leaders of independent federal agencies without cause.
One case involves the administration's removal of Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook over policy differences.
Congress established tenure protections for the central bank to shield its leadership from political interference.
The law requires the president to show specific cause for removal, but does not outline clear procedures.
Trump cited unverified mortgage fraud claims to justify Cook's ouster, sparking a broader constitutional challenge to independent agency oversight.
Another case concerns the removal of Democratic Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter.
Lower courts ruled that the firing exceeded presidential authority, prompting the administration to challenge long-standing precedents protecting agency heads.
Election Disputes
The justices also will address voting rules ahead of the November midterm elections. They expressed skepticism toward a Mississippi law allowing a five-day grace period for mail-in ballots.
A separate case involving Vice President JD Vance examines limits on coordinated political party spending.
The conservative-led court previously gave the administration two immigration victories and blocked a sweeping tariff program earlier this year.
