The New Tenure of Office Act

Which brings us to the current political situation. There are not one but two bills in the Senate -- both proposed by Republicans -- to make it illegal for Donald J. Trump to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller. One bill, sponsored by South Carolina's Foghorn Leghorn senator and Mini-McCain Lindsay Graham, the other by RINO Chamber of Commerce honorary member and pro-high heel-wearing-in-the-military man Thom Tillis of North Carolina. (What is in the water in the Carolinas? Maybe they should get rid of the lead pipes down thar!) Both make it illegal for the President to fire an employee of the Department of Justice without "cause" to be determined by a panel of judges.

This is a clear violation of Separation of Powers. Congress may investigate the matter itself, but they cannot force Mr. Trump to conduct an investigation of himself and force him to retain hostile personnel. And there is no underlying crime being investigated by the President or his staff, but rather a national security issue. The President has an absolute legal right to fire Mueller when he sees fit.

Congressional Republicans have been waging a quiet war on their own President. The Senate voted unanimously to stay in session thus denying President Trump the power to make recess appointments - and they themselves have refused to move his appointments forward. They prevented Trump from even using private funding to build a border wall in a previous deal. They refused to even repeal Obamacare, the cornerstone of every Republican campaign promise. And they have gone along with the Democrats with these investigations, which the GOP knows full well are purely political. See, they want Trump to fail; he shows that there is a different way to do things and he has exposed the nudity of the Imperium.

History doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme.

Well, big whoop! Stuff like this is just a publicity stunt, in this case pushed by two non-serious RINOS.

So it passes House and Senate and winds up on the President’s desk. He raises his pen and in a flourish scrawls across it’s face “YOU’RE FIRED”.

It should be embarrassing for any of the sponsors of this bill that they are so ignorant of the Constitution. I say “should be” because no one in the MSM is ever going to call them out on it, and most Americans have no clue what is actually in those very few pages that compose our basic agreement to be governed.

Same in NC with Sen Blurr and Sen Tillis (the one with the head injury) - the idiot jr Sen...neither represent the wishes of NC citizen who elected them. Both want to remove TRUMP! Both must have black mail issues and have lined their pockets with dirty soros money and are doing the demo’s devil’s work with their committee and bill to tie Trump’s hand on being President! Tillis really knows how to pick loser friend’s Coons from MD, just as bad as schmer and the idiot comedian and blurr can’t find anything to investigate on the demo side only Trump. Shameful you b*sdards, shameful!
