The Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission just fired two Democrat Commissioners.

Rebecca Slaughter - a former legal advisor to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Alvaro Bedoya - a former Georgetown official, were informed by the White House that the president was terminating their positions at the FTC, which enforces consumer protection and antitrust laws. The Commission typically has five members, with the president's party holding three seats and the opposing party two.

Slaughter and Bedoya say they plan to challenge their dismissals in court.

These are obviously lifetime appointments.

It is in article 6 paragraph 6 sentence 6 of the Constitution.

Lol.
