So far, the Supreme Court has not ruled squarely on Trump's broad assertions of power. But the justices have granted a series of emergency appeals from Trump's lawyers and set aside lower court orders that blocked his initiatives from taking effect.

After months of tension between President Donald Trump and the Supreme Court, the country’s high court ended its term by delivering its biggest win for Trump in his second administration, deciding to decrease the power of lower courts while increasing the president’s own.

The court's decision left enough room for the challengers to Trump's directive to try to prevent it from taking effect while litigation over its legality plays out.
