A U.S. Supreme Court ruling Thursday in a legal battle over President Donald Trump's firing of two federal labor board members contained a line that eased, for now, worries that the cases could open the door for Trump to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at will.

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to halt lower court rulings voiding removals of members from two labor boards.

But the justices sought to calm fears about the decision’s possible implications for the president’s ability to fire the chair of the Federal Reserve.
