最高法院允许丽莎·库克继续留任联邦储备委员会成员,尽管面临法律挑战

摘要

最高法院允许联邦储备理事丽莎·库克在准备审理特朗普总统关于其罢免的上诉期间继续任职。

最高法院决定允许联邦储备理事丽莎·库克至少留任至2026年,同时准备审理特朗普总统寻求罢免她的上诉。法院未对该决定提供解释,也无异议意见。

此决定与以往案件有所不同,以往大法官们通常尊重总统罢免独立联邦机构官员的权力。而此次,法院选择在案件结果出炉前维持库克的职位。

今年八月,特朗普总统试图解雇库克,理由是涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈。库克否认任何不当行为,并提起诉讼,质疑总统罢免她的权力,认为此举违反了她作为独立联邦机构雇员的法律保护。

联邦法律允许总统“有正当理由”罢免联邦储备委员会成员,但在这家拥有112年历史的中央银行中,尚无总统曾尝试过此类罢免。

此前,上诉法院已支持一项初步禁令,要求联邦储备允许库克在诉讼进行期间继续担任理事。最高法院的最新决定拒绝了总统此时罢免她的请求。

白宫发言人表示对政府立场充满信心,并称:“我们期待在一月于最高法院进行口头辩论后最终取得胜利。”
