Summary
The Court held that congressional subpoenas for the President's personal financial information are permissible if they satisfy a balanced, four‑factor analysis that respects separation of powers; the lower courts' judgments were vacated and the cases remanded for further proceedings. Justice Thomas and Justice Alito dissented, arguing that such subpoenas are unconstitutional absent an impeachment basis.
