Amid agency changes, some VA workers in Philadelphia were looking to leave their jobs. The agency says enough have left across the country to avoid a reduction in force.

The administration argues that the president does not need additional authorization from Congress to conduct agency-wide layoffs.

The justices said they were not ruling on the legality of specific firing plans but simply allowing the administration to launch such efforts while litigation continues.
