White House concedes Shulkin didn't resign. Will there be a constitutional showdown?

[Stormy Daniels]

President Trump has bypassed Shulkin's deputy, and has instead chosen Robert Wilkie to be the acting department head. However, this could be illegal. Could this turn into another Andrew Johnson style fiasco?


But on Monday, White House director of strategic communications Mercedes Schlapp said during an interview on Fox News that White House chief of staff John Kelly gave Shulkin an “opportunity to resign” from the job.


“General Kelly called Secretary Shulkin and gave him the opportunity to resign. Obviously the key here is is that the president has made a decision,” Schlapp said. “He wanted a change in the Department of Veterans Affairs. He felt it was time.”

White House appears to shift explanation on whether Shulkin resigned or was fired

Actually no the WH didn't say he DIDN'T resign...it says he was given a chance to resign but it doesn't say if he did or not. Either way glad the POS is gone!

How on Earth could this be a constitutional showdown?

As Obama once said as President:

'Its good to be the king.'

'If you want something different, win some elections.'

How on Earth could this be a constitutional showdown?

Bypassing Shulkin's deputy appears to be a violation of the Vacancies Act. If it is, anything Wilkie does could become void. But more importantly, such a violation could be grounds for impeachment. This could, be similar to Andrew Johnson's impeachment for firing his War Secretary, allegedly in violation of laws of the time.

TAKING A DUMP OR A BREATH, ACCORDING TO SNOWFLAKES, IS GROUND FOR IMPEACHMENT.

Nobody was fired in the Obama white house, that they claimed quit, and nobody who quit the Obama white house was claimed to have been fired.

I don't care if the person resigned, or Trump fired him, but at least tell the truth about it. It's not like exclusive truths coexist.

You should have read the act. The Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998

As a matter of fact, I did. I was curious about the claim and wanted to see for myself what it said. Question is, have you?

The White House appears to be shifting its explanation about the departure of former Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, now saying he was offered “the opportunity to resign” after previously saying that he “resigned from his position.”

If you are going to quote someone at least have the decency not to modify their words. Especially if your only purpose is to try to make a bad pun that's not even funny.

That's the spirit! Who cares if the President violated a law intended to prevent cronyism and corruption? Who cares if the White House is lying to escape responsibility for breaking the law?

Still doesn't say he was fired.
