Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo ,
603 U.S. 369 (2024), permits a court to (a) accept an
agency's reasonable construction of a statute without
exhausting all relevant tools to find the single, best
meaning or (b) give precedential weight to decisions
affording deference under Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. , 467 U.S. 837
(1984), when the court evaluates different agency action.

2. Whether statutes that prescribe a definite
term for a federal office, with no language providing
for removal, preclude the officer's removal without
cause before the term ends.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo permits judicial review of agency statutory interpretation and Chevron deference precedent
