The President may Constitutionally fire any employee of the Executive Branch. Congress has zero Constitutional authority to forbid or prevent it.
Impeachment—or the threat thereof—is the only Constitutional way Congress might prevent a President from firing any member of the Executive Branch. But if the President does so anyway, impeachment and removal from office is the only recourse Congress Constitutionally may use to deal with it.
In practice, Congress can impeach any holder of any Constitutional office for any reason it chooses, and then the Senate can vote to remove that person from office for whatever reason it may choose. Or not. So far, in the case of Presidents, it has always chosen not to do so.
Oh, this ahole again.
He needs to persistently criticize Meuller telling him he should recuse himself immediately. The more time that goes by more people forget. The Dems want him to fire these Bozos so they can start another investigation. Until the republicans stand up and fight for him his hands are somewhat tied.
Typical stupid democrat fraud. The Constitution grants no authority to either the Legislative or the Judicial branch of government to interfere in or supercede the authority of the Executive branch.
Trump Has absolute authority over all offices of the executive branch of government. He hires and fires at will. He has constitutional authority to direct the activities of the FBI. He may, at his pleasure, initiate or shut down any and all investigations whether criminal or civil. Within the Executive branch of government it is impossible, legally, for the president to be found culpable of interfering in any matter. ACTING ON HIS cONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY IS NOT ILLEGAL.
Well little Adam you ain’t got any say in the matter
“That is not how the rule of law works,
Well the Prosecutor is already in violation of the law from all I hear simply by having close relationship with witnesses.
gotta find out where this guy lives.
I’ll bet he’s neighbors with Elvis...
“It has become clear that President Trump believes that he has the power to fire anyone in government he chooses and for any reason, including special counsel Robert Mueller,” the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said in a statement. “That is not how the rule of law works, and Congress will not allow the President to so egregiously overstep his authority.”

Actually, the President DOES have the authority to fire ANYONE in the Executive Branch. And that includes Rosenstein and Mueller. Question is, does he have the political will to do it.
It should be made clear to the bolshevik traitor Schiff that we have lampposts and rope.
A year ago I would have believed this to be sarcasm.
I tired of “Sheriff Woody” Shiff long ago. He’s another Schumer, Durbin, McCain type who will knock you down if you’re between him and a camera when he want’s to bash Republicans. He’s trying to “make” news that isn’t there.
Trump can fire anyone in the Executive Branch and the DOJ is part of that branch.
Trump has given NO indication that he might fire anyone from the DOJ or the Special Counsel.
...btw, heard today that Mueller has hired 13 lawyers to work on his “investigation” and at least the first 4 gave $$ contributions to the Hillary campaign and the Clinton Foundation. Why so many lawyers?
They just make up anything they like and run with it.
All this innuendo and President Trump hasn’t said anything except the obvious, it’s a Witch Hunt.
