text:  An official like an attorney general or an acting attorney general, something the president alone has the power to do. Now, where in the Constitution the president has the exclusive power to remove a federal official is a question that would be a hard one on a constitutional law exam because it's nowhere in the Constitution. But the Supreme Court is very fixated on the kind of importance of presidential removal authority. But that is one example of conduct at issue in the complaint that the court says is categorically off limits, cannot be pursued in this case.
