最高法院周一拒绝受理一名由民主党任命的国家劳资关系委员会成员提出的上诉，该成员试图挑战其被总统唐纳德·特朗普解雇的合法性。
The Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a bid by a Democratic-appointed member of the National Labor Relations Board to challenge the legality of her firing by President Donald Trump.
大法官们驳回了前国家劳资关系委员会成员格温·威尔科克斯对下级法院裁决的上诉，该裁决称共和党总统于2025年1月解雇她是行政权力的合法行使。
The justices turned away former NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox's appeal of a lower court's ruling that said the Republican president's January 2025 firing of her was a valid exercise of executive authority.
法院的这一行动紧随其6月份的决定，该决定支持特朗普解雇民主党联邦贸易委员会成员丽贝卡·斯洛特。
The court's action follows its June decision backing Trump's firing of Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic Federal Trade Commission member.
该裁决推翻了法院1935年在“汉弗莱执行官”一案中确立的先例，该先例曾承认国会有权保护某些监管机构的领导人免遭总统随意解雇。斯洛特裁决标志着保守派数十年来加强总统对政府关键权力杠杆控制的推动达到顶点。
That ruling overturned the court's 1935 precedent in a case called Humphrey's Executor that had recognized the authority of Congress to protect leaders of certain regulatory agencies from presidential removal at will. The Slaughter decision capped a decades-long conservative push to strengthen the president's grip on key levers of government power.
特朗普将威尔科克斯从国家劳资关系委员会除名的举动，是其对美国政府进行大刀阔斧改革和裁减的一部分，包括解雇数千名工人、拆解联邦机构、将忠诚者安置在关键岗位以及清除职业官员。
Trump's move to oust Wilcox from the NLRB was part of his shakeup and downsizing of the U.S. government, including firing thousands of workers, dismantling federal agencies, installing loyalists in key jobs and purging career officials.
威尔科克斯是首位在该机构董事会任职的黑人女性，她于2023年获民主党前总统乔·拜登任命，开始第二个五年任期。特朗普在其第二个总统任期刚满一周左右就着手解雇她，这引发了威尔科克斯提起的诉讼。斯洛特同样也是拜登的任命者。
Wilcox, the first Black woman to serve on the agency's board, was appointed to a second five-year term in 2023 by Democratic former President Joe Biden. Trump moved to fire her about a week into his second presidential term, drawing a lawsuit by Wilcox. Slaughter also was a Biden appointee.
特朗普解雇威尔科克斯及其他官员的法律斗争，已成为其试图将国会设计为独立于总统的联邦机构置于其控制之下的努力的关键考验。
The legal fight over Trump's firing of Wilcox and other officials has figured as a key test of his efforts to bring federal agencies meant by Congress to be independent from the president under his control.
2025年3月，美国地区法官贝瑞尔·豪厄尔维护了一项联邦法律，该法律保护国家劳资关系委员会官员不得无故被解雇，驳回了特朗普的论点，即国会通过的该法案侵犯了美国宪法赋予总统的权力。
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in March 2025 upheld a federal law protecting NLRB officials from being fired without cause, rejecting Trump's argument that the measure passed by Congress encroaches on authority granted to the president under the U.S. Constitution.
该裁决于2025年12月被美国哥伦比亚特区上诉法院以2比1的裁决推翻，促使威尔科克斯向最高法院提出上诉。
That ruling was reversed in a 2-1 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in December 2025, prompting Wilcox's appeal to the Supreme Court.
