This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Supreme Court, in Trump v. Slaughter, rules to overturn Humphrey's Executor v. United States by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The Supreme Court will be considered to overturn Humphrey's Executor v. United States if they issue a decision in Trump v. Slaughter overruling or substantially limiting Humphrey's Executor v. United States (1935), including ruling that the President may remove FTC commissioners at will.

Slaughter affirms that for-cause removal protections for FTC commissioners remain constitutional or if the case is dismissed, settled, or otherwise disposed of without a merits decision within this market’s timeframe, the market will resolve to “No”.

The resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. Supreme Court; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Trader consensus reflects a 94.8% implied probability that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of President Trump’s authority to fire Federal Trade Commission commissioners without cause in Trump v. Slaughter, driven primarily by signals from the December 8, 2025 oral arguments, where a solid majority of justices expressed support for challenging the FTC Act’s statutory removal protections as violating Article II separation of powers. The Court’s September 22, 2025 shadow docket order granting a stay—allowing Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter’s removal pending full merits review—reinforced this momentum among traders wagering real money. No notable developments have occurred in the past 30 days, with the October term 2025-2026 case still awaiting decision amid typical end-of-term opinion releases.
