Main Body

The Court says the President can fire leaders of many government groups. He does not need a special reason to do this. This gives the President more control.

法院表示總統可以解雇許多政府機構的領導人。他不需要特殊理由即可這樣做。這賦予了總統更多控制權。

However, the Federal Reserve is different. The Court says the President cannot fire its leaders easily. This keeps the bank's money rules safe from politics.

然而,聯準會則有所不同。法院表示總統不能輕易解雇其領導人。這能確保銀行的貨幣規則不受政治影響。

The Court also talked about other things. They said Mississippi can count mail-in votes from Election Day. Also, Donald Trump must pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll.

法院還討論了其他事項。他們表示密西西比州可以計算選舉日的郵寄選票。此外,川普必須向 E. Jean Carroll 支付 500 萬美元。

Conclusion

The President now has more power over government workers, but the Federal Reserve stays independent.

總統現在對政府人員擁有更多權力,但聯準會依然保持獨立。
