Trump’s Supreme Court Winning Streak Faces Big Tests Over Presidential Power

The US Supreme Court so far has largely accommodated Donald Trump’s assertions of sweeping presidential power. The term that starts Monday will determine just how far the court is willing to go.

For eight months, the conservative supermajority has helped Trump amass power, temporarily lifting about 20 rulings that were thwarting his initiatives. The court now is positioned to consider the underlying legal questions behind his imposition of global tariffs, bid to control independent regulatory agencies — including the Federal Reserve — and effort to restrict automatic birthright citizenship.
