Federal Appeals Court Ruling Sides With Trump’s Plans To Dismantle Institute Of Peace
Daily Caller ^ | 6/29/25 | Melanie Wilcox

Posted on 06/29/2025 9:13:31 AM PDT by CFW

A federal appeals court Friday lifted a lower court’s order that blocked President Donald Trump from moving forward with efforts to dismantle the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP).

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that Trump is likely to suffer “irreparable” harm if barred from fully exercising his executive authority over the Institute’s board. The court concluded that the Institute holds “substantial executive power,” meaning its board members are not protected from at-will removal by the president.

“As a general rule, the President may remove executive officers at will,” the three-judge panel wrote. They added that only agencies with quasi-legislative or quasi-judicial authority, and lacking substantial executive power, may qualify for special protections — standards the court said USIP does not meet.

Trump has been getting a lot of "wins" lately.

It's interesting because I've read articles and comments by several law professors insisting Trump would lose on every single one of the issues.

Thus validating the enormous institutional violation of the Separation of Powers principle in the Constitution, as exemplified by the "administrative law judge" position within the executive branch.

“Institute of Peace”

Orwellian name if there ever was one. I’m sure its purpose is the opposite.

No mention of how much the institute costs us-just the fraud.

The Alinsky-ite, "Institute of Peace" is exactly what leftists promote. That being the opposite or contrary of labels.

We don't fall for deceptive wordsmithing anymore.

That sounds like something right out of the book "1984"

“U.S. Institute of Peace”

Sounds like another “take care of government employees while they collect tax payer dough and produce nothing”.

This is a good win.

USIP was a disaster—and the lady running it was an arrogant jerk.

“$55 M/yr boondoggle.”

Over a million $$$ a week for what? And it’s only a grain of sand on the beach of the whole federal budget. This is exactly how we ended up owing $37,000,000,000,000 on the federal debt.

That just shows where law professors rank on the legal food chain.

Not if Trump keeps raising the national debt to spend more. Bonds are already flashing red. US debt is already downgraded a notch from AAA.
