Tillerson, the man responsible for the sodomization of the Boy Scouts, is a democrat who should have never been part of Trump’s cabinet.

how long can he remain acting? From what I can remember, it seems it could be nearly indefinite.

Does Pompeo need Senate confirmation?
To: Stingray51
Hard to see Congress not confirming Pompeo as Sec. of State.

Pretty much. She was in charge of waterboarding Al Quaeda vermin at a CIA detention facility in Thailand apparently. That makes her alright in my book.
She is obviously no shrinking violet.

Negative. Ross and Mattis are far superior. And they support their boss.

Yes. Requires confirmation.
They (Dims) will drag it out as long as they possibly can.
Who is acting SOS, until then? Or, does TRex stay ‘til then???

Wouldn’t Pompeo be acting SOS?
To: All
Stuart Varney just reported that the reason (or one of them) that Tillerson was moved out was that he and the President disagreed about the Iran nuke deal.

If only, but it looks like the lock on Trump is very tight indeed. Stonewall Sessions seems as safe as ever.

As I understand it, he can serve in an acting capacity for up to a year before needing to get confirmed again, on account of having already been confirmed as CIA director.

Ask Maxine Waters, she’s the impeach expert.
