At Least 15 Trump Officials Do Not Hold Their Positions Lawfully

[22lcidw]

The whole Trump Administration is just one big friggin criminal enterprise.

The Blue cities are like old west lawless towns with inept power structures including the law. The people being held hostage by the wild rabble destroying everything they can as they roam through town.

The Trump administration’s disregard for the law governing presidential appointments finally caught up with it. This week, a federal judge in Maryland ruled that because Chad Wolf was likely serving unlawfully as acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), she was barring the administration from enforcing new asylum rules.

Judge Paula Xinis is not the only one who’s concluded this. Last month, the Government Accountability Office released a report concluding that Wolf and Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli are both serving in their positions illegally. And, they aren’t the only high-level Trump officials who are serving illegally. Rather, this administration has shown a blatant disregard for the critical and constitutionally prescribed role the Senate is supposed to play in determining who should fill high-level positions in the executive branch. Indeed, by our count at the Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC), there are currently at least 15 other officials serving in at least 12 executive branch departments who do not hold their positions lawfully and, as we explain below, this figure surely understates the severity of the problem. This pervasive evasion of the Senate’s advice-and-consent requirement is deeply troubling—and hugely consequential.

Under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution, the president is required to obtain “the Advice and Consent of the Senate” in order to

appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law.

Under Trump, the Senate is far too often being cut out of its key role in determining who fills senior executive branch positions.

The law finally comes down on the most lawless, law and order administration in history.

"Acting" indicates they hold the position lawfully as a substitute until such time as the president appoints an official replacement.

Best of luck with this.

There are rules as to who may and may not be acting. As was pointed out, those rules are being disregarded and the officials are not holding their positions lawfully.

The courts are already finding their actions illegal as a result.

Courts are getting smacked down by the higher courts more and more.

So, what do we do? We have to ask how has Trump gotten away with this with the supposed checks and balances that are supposed to be in place - how did he do it? Did he break some arms? Did he black mail some congressmen for their sexual scandals with underage boys? How did this happen???

The Constitutional Accountability Center is "think tank." It is probably biased against Trump. Anybody who studies the Constitution is going to recognize that it is inadequate for the service of the evolved government and society.

All it takes is for good men to be silent.

Like Democrat Mayors and Governors...
Right you are!

And, how come this did not come up during the impeachment trial??

It is quite adequate.

I apologize as I agree with you that the USC contains some vague statements that can be misconstrued by either ideology.
