白宫法律顾问威尔·沙夫周四称赞最高法院6月份加强总统解职权的裁决是一场“代际性胜利”，并表示该裁决纠正了他所认为的一项“历史性宪法错误”。
White House counsel Will Scharf praised the Supreme Court's June decision strengthening presidential firing power as a "generational win," saying Thursday it righted what he viewed as a "historic constitutional wrong."
沙夫在联邦党人协会年度全国律师大会上表示：“一位无法控制谁在行使赋予他的行政权力的总统，那是一个受限的总统。”
"A president who can't control who's exercising the executive power that is vested in him, that's a cabined presidency," Scharf said during the Federalist Society's annual National Lawyers Convention in Washington, D.C.
沙夫指的是最高法院在“斯劳特诉特朗普案”中以6比3作出的裁决，该裁决允许特朗普总统解职联邦贸易委员会委员丽贝卡·斯劳特——一位民主党任命的官员。该裁决认定总统有权随意解职大多数独立联邦机构的负责人，推翻了一个近百年的先例，该先例历史上曾使这些机构免受政治干预。
Scharf was referring to the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Slaughter v. Trump, which allowed President Trump to sack Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter — a Democratic appointee. The ruling held the president had authority to fire the heads of most independent federal agencies at will, upending a nearly century-old precedent that had historically insulated those bodies from political interference.
沙夫表示，这一按意识形态分界线作出的裁决纠正了一个“非常、非常糟糕且相当古老的先例”。“最高法院做得非常出色，”他说，“真正判对了。”
Scharf said that decision, which fell along ideological lines, corrected a "very, very poor and quite ancient precedent." "The Supreme Court did a masterful job," he said. "Really got it right."
