Federal Court Hands Trump a Win, Rogue Agency Brought Under Tighter Control

 

President Donald Trump will soon be able to use his famous catchphrase “You’re fired.” against the head of a troubled federal agency, the Fair Housing Finance Agency, which is led by a single Obama appointee with no meaningful oversight from the president.

 

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled this week that the agency’s structure is unconstitutional.

 

In Collins v. Mnuchin, a three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit issued a per curiam opinion holding that Congress unconstitutionally “insulated the [Fair Housing Finance Agency] to the point where the executive branch cannot control the [agency] or hold it accountable.”

 

The judges sent the case back to the district court, ordering it to strike down a statutory limit (in 12 U.S.C. § 4512(b)(2)) on the president’s power to remove the agency’s director.
