Governor Andy Beshear, et al. v. Attorney General Russell Coleman, et al.

Issues include whether the Governor’s role as the “supreme executive who must take care that the laws are faithfully executed” requires that he have appointive power for the majority of the Executive Branch Ethics Commission members and removal for cause power over all members; or whether the General Assembly has the prerogative to withhold executive powers from the Governor by assigning them to the constitutional officers who are not amenable to his supervision and control. Oral arguments heard on Oct. 16, 2025.
