Supreme Court Faces Key Questions as Trump Prepares for Second Term

Trump's controversial policy agenda and Supreme Court's conservative supermajority set stage for legal clashes and constitutional tests.

President-elect Donald Trump’s sweeping second-term agenda, including plans to end birthright citizenship and deport undocumented immigrants, is expected to face significant legal challenges.
The Supreme Court, with a 6-3 conservative supermajority shaped by Trump, could serve as a critical check on his presidency despite its rightward shift.
During Trump’s first term, the Court ruled against him in several high-profile cases, including efforts to rescind DACA and block financial record subpoenas, though it also expanded presidential immunity in a recent ruling.
Legal experts question whether Trump would comply with adverse Supreme Court rulings, raising concerns about potential constitutional crises.
Key issues, such as limits on federal agency powers and the legality of Trump’s proposed policies, could test the boundaries of executive authority and the Constitution.
