My guess is that it isn’t the firing that’s temporary, it’s the permission. As in, the President can do that as long as it’s Trump, but it stops being allowed if a Democrat gets in office.
(That’s probably not what they’ll claim it means, but I bet that’s how it’ll work in practice.)
It means Trump can fire the Chair, at least until the decision. If it goes against him, the Chair is reinstated. It’s a stupid decision since Trump doesn’t apparently have the legal authority to do it in the first place, but it’s similar to an injunction where the court decides that until a final ruling is made, it’s in the government’s interest to allow the act to continue.

Exactly. Now watch them not actually make the decision, allowing Trump de-facto dictatorial power while the issue officially remains in legal limbo.
A valid point, and kind of what I expect. The Gilead Faction of the USSC hasn’t really been cagey about their plans.
