S. Supreme Court made four choices on Monday. Some choices were good for Donald Trump.

Some were bad. First, the court gave the president more power. He can now fire leaders of government offices.

The court says this helps him work. But the court did not agree with everything. In the second case, the court stopped Trump.

He wanted to fire Lisa Cook from the big bank. This bank controls money. The judges stopped him.

They said the bank must stay separate. Third, the court talked about voting. People can send votes by mail.

Trump did not like this rule. But the court said states make their own rules. Finally, the court looked at a case with a woman.

Trump had to pay $5 million. The court said he must pay now. Trump said these choices were not fair.

These choices show a big thing. The court does not always help the president. These cases will change the power of future leaders.

Many people are watching the government now.
