Today, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in Trump, President of the United States v. Slaughter.
The case centers on whether limiting President Donald Trump’s ability to remove members of the Federal Trade Commission is in violation of the separation of powers due to the restriction of the president’s authority over the executive branch under the Constitution.
Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers is completing her trip to the United Kingdom, France, and Italy. While in Italy, Under Secretary Rogers signed an extension of the U.S.-Italy Cultural Property Agreement, which curbs the illicit trafficking of cultural property and protects American collectors and museums.
The State Department said that, on her travels, the under secretary of state “met with government counterparts to advance key bilateral issues, reaffirm the Trump Administration’s commitment to defending freedom of speech and digital freedom, and highlight American excellence through America250 celebrations.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the justices of the Supreme Court to be led by the Lord as they hear and deliberate the case.
- For President Trump and members of his administration as they seek to replace executive branch officials.
- For State Department ambassadors, envoys, and staff as they represent the U.S. to foreign ministers and international heads of state.
