https://m.wsj.net/video/20251104/c16139ad-e909-4ab9-9359-d98eb0819e7c/3/hls/manifest-hd-wifi.m3u8

Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed over the Trump administration’s top policies. WSJ’s Louise Radnofsky looks at five of the fastest-moving court fights, from tariffs to the Federal Reserve, that could redefine the limits of White House authority.

The Biggest Court Cases Testing Trump’s Presidential Power

President Trump has an expansive view of White House power, and he's testing it in every direction.

I would have the right to do anything I wanna do. I'm the president of the United States.

As a result, his agenda is facing a wave of lawsuits. More than 400 challenges filed in federal courts across the country, all these cases have one big thing in common. They argue that Trump has overstepped his authority. Here's a look at five of those court cases that involve some of his most consequential actions and could redefine the limits of presidential power. Trade policy is one of the biggest and earliest tests for the Trump administration at the Supreme Court. In this case, an educational toy company and a small wine importer are challenging Trump's decision to impose sweeping tariffs by declaring a national emergency. Trump says the trade deficit is the emergency here, and in 1977 law, lets him do big things to respond to it. But tariffs aren't the only area where Trump has invoked an emergency. He cited emergency authority for everything from imposing sanctions on the international criminal court to deploying National Guard troops in California, Oregon, and Illinois. In all of these cases, courts are scrutinizing Trump's definition of an emergency and whether the administration's response is authorized under the law. Presidential power is also a major theme in the Trump administration's aggressive deportation policy. One of the most controversial tools the administration has been using is an 18th century law called the Alien Enemies Act, which gives the president the ability to arrest on citizens in the event of a war or an invasion. The Trump administration says that law means it can rapidly detain hundreds of Venezuelans and send them to a mega prison in El Salvador. The Venezuelan suing say that's a huge reach, and the government can't just expel non-citizens without a hearing. Similar versions of this fight are playing out in dozens of other immigration policy cases where the president says there's a crisis requiring a forceful response, and opponents say people aren't getting their right to due process. Then there's the matter of birthright citizenship and what the Constitution says about it. On Inauguration Day, Trump issued an executive order denying American citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants and temporary visitors to the United States.

We're the only country in the world that does this with birthright as you know.

The order reinterprets more than a century of precedent. The White House is arguing that the 14th Amendment doesn't mean automatic US citizenship for everyone born in the United States, but most legal scholars say the amendment quite clearly does mean that, the outcome of this case could have broad ripple effects. For example, the lawsuit has already prompted a ruling from the Supreme Court pairing back the ability of federal judges to block a whole host of Trump administration policies nationwide.

Department of Education. We're gonna eliminate it, and everybody knows it's right.

The Trump administration has also been hollowing out government agencies from the inside, like the Department of Education. States are suing, saying the move serves the authority of Congress, which created the agencies and violates the president's own obligations to faithfully execute the law. Trump's education secretary Linda McMahon says she knows that only Congress can actually close the department, but the administration is arguing that she can have its workforce. There are more than 150 other cases challenging the administration's attempts to change the structure of government and withhold funds appropriated by Congress, all involving a similar central argument that Trump is taking power that the Constitution gives to the legislative branch. Lawyers for the government say that it's up to the executive branch to decide how many employees the education department needs. Critics of that argument say that would mean the administration could undo any laws it doesn't like simply by firing the people who carry them out. Trump is also trying to extend control over independent government agencies and particularly their democratic appointees. In the most high-profile attempt so far, Trump administration officials have accused Federal Reserve, governor Lisa Cook of mortgage fraud, and the president wants to fire her from the Central Bank's board. Cook says he's concocted a reason to get her off the board in order to undermine the independence of Fed.

She seems to have had an infraction and she can't have an infraction, especially that infraction because she's in charge of, if you think about it, mortgages, and we need people that are 100% above board and it doesn't seem like she was.

The Supreme Court's conservative majority has previously allowed Trump to dismiss officials from other independent government agencies while these lawsuits continue, but they have signaled they believe the Fed is unique and enjoys more protections from presidential intervention, and the court is letting Cook keep her job for now. Together, the cases about the Fed and the other independent agencies could shape just how much power the President gets over the entire executive branch. Each of these cases involve profound questions about the power of the presidency and its relationship to Congress, the courts, the Constitution, and the civil service. They can set the parameters of White House Authority for decades to come.
