576:. Roberts wrote that the three current uses "are modern and contested. And they do not involve regulatory or enforcement authority comparable to that exercised by the CFPB." Roberts also wrote that the CFPB structure "is also incompatible with the structure of the Constitution, which—with the sole exception of the presidency—scrupulously avoids concentrating power in the hands of any single individual." In support of this position, Roberts also cited the
635:
stating that "he best view is that the First
Congress 'was deeply divided' on the president's removal power, and 'never squarely addressed' the central issue here." Finally, she questioned why it was relevant that the head of the CFPB was an independent director and not an independent commission, as independent commissions theoretically cause a higher diffusion of executive power than a single director does.
524:. The 5–4 decision ruled that the CFPB structure, with a sole director that could only be terminated for cause, was unconstitutional as it violated the separation of powers. Specifically, the Court held that Article II of the Constitution gives the president the power to remove principal officers at will except for two exceptions recognized under case law. The first exception was based on
587:
from the rest of the statute establishing the agency, and thus "he agency may therefore continue to operate, but its director, in light of our decision, must be removable by the president at will." The Court vacated the lower court's judgement and remanded the case for review. The dissenting justices

The Court recognized that the president may generally remove officers at will. However, the Court stated there were two exceptions to this rule. First, the president's removal power may be constrained by
Congress if the officer in question is a member of an agency that shares similar characteristics

apparent in the Court's opinion. Kagan challenged the argument presented by the majority stating that "owhere does the text say anything about the president's power to remove subordinate officials at will." She also contested the majority's characterization of
Article II's

which held that
Congress could constrain the president's removal power over "inferior officers with limited duties and no policymaking" role. Because the CFPB director was not an inferior officer, the Court held that this exception did not apply.
