When SCOTUS allowed him to fire two members of the Labor board a few weeks ago they pointed out that the ruling did not mean that he could fire Powell just because he wasn't in line with executive policy preferences.

But that has little to nothing to do with whether or not he can fire a fed governor "for cause"... which is clearly allowable within the law that created the fed in the first place.

The question in this one almost certainly comes down to whether or not "cause" can include an accusation of a crime without charges (let alone conviction)... and whether or not she actually did what she is accused of.
