What if Trump forces Prince Pubus to FIRE RYAN? That would be fun. Make him in charge of deporting illegal aliens personally.
How could the Chief of Staff “fire” the Speaker of the House? Do you have any idea how government works at all?
How??? Separate branches!!! A bit of a Constitutional obstace don’t you think?
“What if Trump forces Prince Pubus to FIRE RYAN? “
The Constitution provides for three separate branches of government. The President, and his staff, have no power to appoint or remove members of the House of Representatives. Only the members of the House of Representatives, or the voters in his congressional district, can fire Ryan. There will be an election for Speaker when the newly elected Congress convenes in January. If you want a new speaker, lobby the Republicans elected to the House for the next term to make a change.
As to the choice of Priebus for Chief of Staff, from what I’ve observed it was an excellent choice. Priebus stuck with Trump and did his job to elect Republican candidates despite tremendous pressure from the GOP establishment, the media, key donors, and many GOP politicians to denounce Trump. Priebus knows where the bodies are buried in DC as well as the inner workings of the city. Many GOP politician owe Priebus favors. This knowledge, and leverage, will be critical for Trump to hit the ground running. In addition, he knows the donors intimately and can be effective in bringing those who bailed in 2016 back into the fold for the 2018 and 2020 elections. Plus, as an insider he can tell Trump which potential candidates for jobs in the administration are likely to be loyal and which will be backstabbers or leak to the press.
The Executive and Congress are two separate branches of our federal government. The President has zero ability to "fire" any member of Congress. The Senate and House each select their own leadership, so if the members of the House want to retain Ryan, we're stuck with him.
Fire Ryan? What are you talking about? Ryan serves at the pleasure of the voters in his district and as House Speaker at the pleasure of the Congressmen and women. Trump has no say in who is Speaker. He gets no vote. However, it appears there are some congressmen that want to replace him but no one wants the job. I don’t blame them.
