**US Supreme Court’s New Term to Examine Trump’s Presidential Power**
*By Chanshimla Varah | October 7, 2025, 11:20 AM*
The United States Supreme Court opened its new term on Monday, with Chief Justice John Roberts kicking off the session by rejecting over 800 pending appeals. Among those dismissed was an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell challenging her conviction for luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by her late partner, Jeffrey Epstein.
### Focus on Trump’s Presidential Power
Over the next ten months, a primary focus of the Court will be assessing former President Donald Trump’s expansive claims of presidential power. Several high-profile cases linked to Trump’s actions and executive authority are set to shape the term.
### LGBTQ Rights: Therapy Bans Under Review
One of the first cases the Court will hear involves bans on therapy aimed at changing sexual orientation or gender identity. Nearly half of US states have passed laws banning such therapies, and the Supreme Court’s ruling will have far-reaching implications for LGBTQ rights.
### Tariff Case: Authority to Impose Import Tariffs
On November 5, the Court will hear a major case regarding Trump’s imposition of tariffs on imports. Two lower courts ruled that Trump lacked the statutory authority to impose these tariffs, and the Supreme Court’s decision will clarify the limits of presidential power in trade matters.
### Key Cases on Presidential Authority
In December, the justices will consider arguments concerning Trump’s authority to remove independent agency members at will. This case has the potential to overturn or significantly narrow a 90-year-old precedent related to presidential removal powers.
Another significant case involves Trump’s executive order denying birthright citizenship to children born in the US to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. The Trump administration has appealed lower court rulings that declared the order unconstitutional. This case could be heard late this winter or early spring.
### Other High-Profile Cases
The Supreme Court will also review an expedited case involving Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from her position as a governor on the Federal Reserve Board, a role critical to the US economy.
### Latest Legal Battle: Control Over National Guard Troops
The Court is set to address Trump’s recent attempts to seize control of state National Guard troops and deploy them in cities experiencing high crime rates, despite opposition from local and state leaders. A federal court in Oregon has issued an order barring Trump from deploying troops to Portland, and an appeals court is expected to review this decision in the coming days.
