Since April 7, the U.S. Supreme Court has granted President Trump emergency relief 13 times, blocking lower-court decisions that impacted immigration policies and federal employment. This judicial support relates to the unitary executive theory, which posits that all executive power resides solely with the president. Therefore, Congress should not create independent agencies with protected directors or restrict presidential authority over firing federal workers and watchdogs. This perspective contradicts constitutional principles that outline separated but shared powers between government branches, as evidenced by historical examples like the Sinking Fund created by Congress in 1790.
The unitary executive theory asserts that all executive power belongs to the president and that everyone in the executive branch serves at his pleasure.
The theory claims that Congress should not create independent agencies whose directors the president cannot easily fire.
The Constitution establishes separate sections for each branch of government, indicating that their powers are shared, not absolute.
Historical practices show that the president's executive power is not absolute, as seen in Congress's creation of the Sinking Fund in 1790.
