The appointment of the Special Councel is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Despite that, we play the game because I, unlike the Democrats, have done nothing wrong!
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
The Special Counsel is appointed by the House and cannot on his own impeach anyone.
THATS what Jeffery Beauregard Sessions is supposed to be doing!
LOL, I never thought of Sessions.
That was a rather embarrassing slip on my part, wasn't it? Rosenstein obviously appointed Mueller. But that still doesn't make his appointment unconstitutional since he has no power to impeach.
“Misspell” is a verb. You used it as a noun.
supposedly violates the appointments clause
Meaning - anything Mueller says will be tied up in court until after Trump leaves office in 2025. This will deflate the impeachment issue if people understand this.
Interesting. I assume that would depend on how one defines "principal officers" as opposed to "inferior officers, and how one defines "significant authority".
I’m thinking the same thing. Especially considering he was just analyzed for such by a teacher on CNN.
yes
Yes! But the communists traitor Sessions will not and Trump is still playing the foolish game "I have done nothing wrong". That will get Trump in real trouble.
Looking at the wording in the Executive Power Clause and in the Appointments Clause, I would think even for inferior officers, the chief executive still has the option to appoint.
Well, de facto, at least, Mueller not only has significant authority, one could say he has more authority then anyone, including the President.
The option, but not the requirement.
I don’t recall where, but I do remember seeing an analysis of the president‘s tweets and the spelling/ grammatical errors being intentional, to lull his opponents into believing (incorrectly, of course) he’s a bit of a dullard.
where has he been the last year?
Looks like to me that for inferior officers, Congress vests power in the president to delegate authority to appoint, if the president so chooses.
So it's the president who would have to tell Rod Rosenstein to appoint a special council, else the president "alone" could do it.
