That was definitely one of the crazier parts of the first term - realizing that under current “law”, the “president” can’t hire, fire, or command most of the “Executive” branch.
The Schedule F amendment seems to be a massive improvement, though I don’t know the specifics.
Yeah, so much has happened since his first term it's like people have forgotten that we've already had these conversations before.
President Trump wasn't pushing to completely dismantle the DOE during his first term, but he did trim it down, and there were a lot of fights in Congress over it.
And it wasn't just the DOE he trimmed during his first term. He cut out a lot of jobs through the various departments.
The big difference between then and now is that he's saying he wants to eliminate the departments completely, and he's pushing hard for it.
People seem to have forgotten all the legal arguments the democrats put up to block his efforts during his first term.
It was a long, hard, uphill battle to cut what he was able to during his first term.
I don't know why people think this term it's going to be as simple as him signing an EO and suddenly entire departments are going to cease to exist.
If it was really as simple and as cut and dried as signing an EO, we could have done away with all this foolishness 8 years ago.
Exactly. We've been told that a few times, I think, that everything must be done by the book.
I understand how badly we all want this, but I think we all need to not let that cloud our reasoning in the matter.
