The DC Circuit ruled en banc (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41813/gov.uscourts.cadc.41813.01208727297.0.pdf) that the president cannot unilaterally fire members of multi-member governing bodies, in this case the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board, without going through the process prescribed by statute. They relied on a 90-year-old Supreme Court precedent, which they're not empowered to overrule.
