The old precedent's reasoning relied on the FTC's being predominantly quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative, trivially executive in nature and therefore not subject to executive control. The argument continued that the current FTC exercises considerable executive power, implementing and executing dozens of statutes. Since it's shifted to being largely executive, it's now executive in nature.

Is the NLRB primarily executive? In that case that reasoning would hold. If it's primarily judicial or legislative, then it wouldn't.
