Explained simply

The US Constitution divides power among the president, Congress and the courts, and sets rules for how federal officials are appointed and removed. Congress has created independent agencies whose leaders can have some protection from being dismissed by the president, to help them carry out duties set by law.

Trump v. Slaughter concerns the limits of that protection and the president’s power to remove officials. The phrase “small-c constitutional” refers to how courts interpret the Constitution’s structure and principles, even when a dispute does not turn on a specific line of its text. The issue matters because the balance between presidential control and agency independence can affect how federal rules are made and enforced.
