Even if he could, it would have been impossible to fire Ted Kennedy since he had died 8+ years before he took office. He didn't need to fire Pelosi either as she was not Speaker of the House. Paul Ryan was. As a Never-Trumper I would think you would know that.
Let's review what happened according to Wikipedia:
On January 20, 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as President of the United States. Trump and many Republicans have vowed to repeal and replace Obamacare. President Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2017, his first day in office, that according to then White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer would "ease the burden of Obamacare as we transition from repeal and replace". Spicer would not elaborate further when asked for more details.
On March 6, 2017, House Republicans announced their replacement for the ACA, the American Health Care Act. The bill was withdrawn on March 24, 2017 after it was certain that the House would fail to garner enough votes to pass it. The result was in-fighting within the Republican Party. (Your boy Paul Ryan again doing his part to torpedo the initiative.)
On May 4, 2017, the United States House of Representatives voted to pass the American Health Care Act (and thereby repeal most of the Affordable Care Act) by a narrow margin of 217 to 213, sending the bill to the Senate for deliberation.[48] The Senate indicated they would write their own version of the bill, instead of voting on the House version. On June 22, the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017 was unveiled.
On July 25, 2017, the United States Senate voted to proceed to debate on the American Health Care Act. The Senate voted 50–50, largely along party lines with the Republicans for and the Democrats against proceeding, requiring Vice President Pence to cast the tie-breaking vote. Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska crossed the aisle to vote against the motion.
On July 27, 2017, the Health Care Freedom Act, also known as the skinny repeal, was introduced. This bill was defeated 49–51, with Republican senators Susan Collins, John McCain, and Lisa Murkowski voting against it along with all the Democrats and independents. On September 13, 2017, an amendment to the American Health Care Act, commonly known as Graham-Cassidy, was submitted. The bill was sponsored by Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, with Bill Cassidy of Louisiana as a co-sponsor. A spokesman for the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that a vote was planned to occur before September 30, which was the deadline to pass bills under budget reconciliation. Rand Paul and John McCain indicated that they would vote against the bill.[56] Ultimately, McConnell announced on September 26 that the Senate would not vote on the Graham-Cassidy bill.
Remember when he said he’d tax the rich and they’d be very unhappy? And they got a tax break.
No really, but I do remember the Democrats saying that a,, the time. However, they created so many loopholes for them that the tax increases would always affect the middle-class more than the rich they always claimed they were going to make them pay their fair-share.
Or he’d unite us and the divide got wider?
He actually has done so, but it took a stolen election for that to actually take hold. But who is responsible for creating all of the division in the first place? You probably don't know the answer so I will provide it for you. It was the Democrats with the assistance of the press. They have been doing this for decades. with the constant attacks, and the leftist goon squads who are paid by Democrats out of the tax you & I pay into the Treasury every year. Did you think this division was created at the grassroots level? Wouldn't surprise me if you did.
The 2020 election was not stolen. He tried to steal it after the fact. Even his lawyer has recently said in the Georgia case lying and pressuring officials is a free speech issue.
Well, as usual you are dead wrong on that issue as well, not that I find that surprising at all. His lawyers did not say what you say either. What his lawyers actually said was:
Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers argued in court Friday that his Georgia election subversion indictment should be thrown out because it “violates free speech,” and that if he wins the 2024 election, the trial would need to be postponed anyway, until he completes his second presidential term.
Trump lawyers say Georgia charges violate ‘free speech’ and that he can’t be tried while president
In other words, rejecting the results of an elections is not a crime. If it were than we need to go back & charge everyone who has contested their election loss, which would by mostly Democrats facing charges. You just make up BS out of thin air, just like a Democrat. Perhaps what you really are.
I do like myself.
🤣 Sarcasm just eludes like knowledge does.
Do or do not, there is no try.
So you would prefer that he took on the role of dictator huh. You are a Democrat aren't you. Well, at least that would give you an excuse to hate him, though I suspect the expectation of him being a dictator upsets you to no end that he didn't rule like a dictator. Poor, poor pitiful you.
And I see you dodged my last question. When was the date America was last great?
The last time America was great was Jan. 19th, 2021.
When was the last time it was great for you? wait, let me guess. April 4th 2024. Right? It will lose its greatness, once again, come Jan. 19th 2025. Right again?
Because you love Biden, Obama, and most of all Bill Clinton who sent tingles up your leg, like Chris Matthews had for Obama. 🤣
Kennedy was a metaphore. Pelosi, she was in congress and a sure no vote.

Correct. But he said he alone could do it. And it was item #1 on his agenda. Obama claimed we could keep our doctor. That was a crock. But we held him, at least verbally, accountable. Yet Trump gets a pass on his failure.
Regarding taxing the rich No really, but I do remember the Democrats saying that a,, the time. However, they created so many loopholes for them that the tax increases would always affect the middle-class more than the rich they always claimed they were going to make them pay their fair-share.
I'm surprised a MAGA adherent like you would forget that. That was a cornerstone promise to make America great again. Candidate Trump said in August, 2015 he wanted to cut taxes for the middle class and raise them on rich people like himself.“I do very well, I don't mind paying some taxes,” he told Bloomberg. He vowed to end the carried interest break that benefits hedge fund managers, who he said were “getting away with murder” by not paying their share of taxes.
He actually has done so, but it took a stolen election for that to actually take hold. But who is responsible for creating all of the division in the first place? You probably don't know the answer so I will provide it for you. It was the Democrats with the assistance of the press.

Did you think this division was created at the grassroots level? Wouldn't surprise me if you did.
Let's say we weren't in prefect harmony. And let's give you the benefit of the doubt, Jan 6th wasn't the only furthering of division. You forget about the Floyd riots? Charlottesville, Melania's I don't care dress at the migrant center, telling the Proud Boys to stand back and stand by, or giving voice to quacks like Dr. Immanuel (alien dna lady) a platform.
So you would prefer that he took on the role of dictator huh. You are a Democrat aren't you. Well, at least that would give you an excuse to hate him, though I suspect the expectation of him being a dictator upsets you to no end that he didn't rule like a dictator. Poor, poor pitiful you.
Your TDS is a sickness. So I pity you. He did however suggest suspending the Constitution prior to leaving office.
The last time America was great was Jan. 19th, 2021.
According to you, an election was stolen. That's a great America? According to Trump throughout the 2020 campaign he was seeking a second term to Make America Great Again. Apparently he didn't get your message, because we should have been on our way to greatness based on your date.
joesFR_DemocratOperative, welcoming Obama's presidency, 2008:
Obama is part of God's plan. I can't explain it. I just know it is.
