Trump learns to love acting officials

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump is increasingly relying on officials in high-level government positions to serve in an acting capacity, a strategy he appears comfortable taking as he escalates plans to implement his immigration policies and broader agenda.

The president argues that having Cabinet members and others serve his administration in an acting capacity is better than having people confirmed by the Senate.

“I like acting because I can move so quickly. It gives me more flexibility,” Trump said in a February interview with CBS's “Face the Nation.”

The use of acting officials gives Trump even more power over those who serve him since they haven't been through a Senate confirmation process.

1. By admitting he is side-stepping the Constitutional process in order to further his own political

agenda, that should be grounds for impeachment. The term "acting" should only apply to emergency appointments that have legitimate permanent candidates lined up for confirmation hearings. These grey areas he uses need to be challenged.

2. Sounds unconstitutional to me (n/t)

3. They are eager to please and easy to fire

4. Most of those left are

protected under GSA Contract Seniority and can only be fired for Just Cause. Don't think Donnie of Stupid wants that Law Suit. Remember,Deposition's.

5. Typical tRump - always find and exploit the loopholes.

Of course he loves the "actings". Once again he finds a way to sidestep the laws and Constitution of the U.S. He'll use whatever means - lawful or not - to benefit himself.
