A federal judge on March 6 reinstated a member of a federal board, ruling that the president lacked the authority to fire board members.

“The President does not have the authority to terminate members of the National Labor Relations Board at will, and his attempt to fire plaintiff from her position on the Board was a blatant violation of the law,” U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said in a 36-page decision.
