Sean Spicer secret weapon?
Trump can fire anybody he wants, thanks to Sean Spicer | Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner
President-elect Donald Trump is arriving at the White House armed with a legal weapon that will let him fire any of President Joe Biden’s appointees.
Thanks in part to a court fight former Trump White House spokesman Sean Spicer lost over his firing by Biden from a three-year term to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, the incoming president will have the legal backing to dump any of Biden’s over 4,000 appointments who try to stick around.
And the best part, Spicer told Secrets, “They’ll have no one to blame but Biden himself.”
The case dates to Sept. 8, 2021, when Biden began to fire Trump allies from the visitor boards at the academies of the Navy, the Air Force, and the Army.
Spicer and others, including Russ Vought (just picked by Trump to head the Office of Management and Budget) and former Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway, were unceremoniously dumped despite several of them having time left on their three-year terms.
Spicer and Vought sued, saying that unlike White House staff or others appointed by a prior president, they couldn’t be fired because of their congressionally mandated terms.
They lost, however, when a judge essentially ruled that the president could fire any presidential appointee, whether they had terms or not. A further effort failed, too.
Spicer said that is exactly what he hoped the courts would do because he wanted to help a future Trump presidency fire Biden’s picks without having its hands tied.
“What no one ever understood was this was not about actually getting back on the board, because my term had been expired for months. It was forcing them to argue in the affirmative that they had the ultimate authority to fire anybody at any time, which they did. And the court accepted that. So the Biden administration is now on record in court, and the court agreed that the president had absolute authority to fire anyone he wants,” Spicer said in an interview.
Just like how the Kenyan Faggot affirmed, in court, that only the Federal govt has jurisdiction over immigration.
Their hubris always comes back to bite them in the ass.
boom.er.rang
So this can be done again and again by any President, so the cycle just continues? I know we've been told there is a plan that is going too prevent all this corruption from happening again.
Why is this not rated higher. One of the best posts seen in a long time.
I just made it triple digits LOL
Well played.
And no men in dresses, please!!
This is not the equivalent of firing anyone he wants.
Presidential appointees serve at the pleasure of the President.
GS employees do not. They have Civil Service protections.
Be treasonous gives you no legal protection, even the president can be removed.
And there's a process for doing that.
A president can't sau this person has committed treason, so I'm firing him.
That would have zero legal force. The president is not a king. He is not a czar. He is not a Great Leader Chairman.
He is a president.
The SES too?
