Trump can fire Sessions at any time that he wants and no one gets to object or attempt to punish him for doing so.

“Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52 (1926), was a United States Supreme Court decision ruling that the President has the exclusive power to remove executive branch officials, and does not need the approval of the Senate or any other legislative body.

“Chief Justice William Howard Taft, writing for the Court, noted that the Constitution does mention the appointment of officials, but is silent on their dismissal. An examination of the notes of the Constitutional Convention, however, showed that this silence was intentional: the Convention did discuss the dismissal of executive-branch staff, and believed it was implicit in the Constitution that the President did hold the exclusive power to remove his staff, whose existence was an extension of the President’s own authority.

Trump is the last hope we have to clean these rotten Gov. big shots out. Obama infested our Fed Gov with unqualified idiots based on AA etc. Heck, the Director of the Nashville VA graduated from a Puerto Rico nursing school and then got his MS in nursing there. He has no degree in hospital admin. or any MBA. Look at the damn Czars. I would like to see all of these idiots FIRED. Hell, there are many retired military medical service corps types who have experience.
