Read the OP

It’s illegal

No, it's not.

Those are bullshit claims.

There is already precedent, which I posted earlier.

Here's another to add to the growing list.

Democratic FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub says Trump fired her. She says it's not legal.​

Ellen Weintraub, the current Federal Election Commission Chair and one of three Democratic members on the committee, posted a letter on X Thursday night from President Trump that says she has been removed as an FEC member.

The brief letter, dated January 31, 2025, reads, "You are hereby removed as a Member of the Federal Election Commission."

On Thursday night, Weintraub alleged her firing was not legal.

"There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it," she wrote in her social media post. "I've been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon."

Democratic FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub says Trump fired her. She says it's not legal.

Weintraub, one of three Democratic members on the Federal Election Commission, posted a letter from Trump terminating her.

www.cbsnews.com

I just watched her be interviewed about the "firing." She notes the legal way to remove a FEC board member is to replace him or her after their term has expired. In its 50 year history no prez has tried to illegally fired a board member as trump has.

Weintraub's is not the only example of a government official being illegally fired. The list is actually quite long. In most instances they aren't really close calls. The legislative acts creating the agencies established the ways in which members cab be removed. trump is not following those procedures.

So, the end game is..........? I would say trump is attempting to take over all government functions by installing loyalists in all the key positions, while removing anyone who might object to his agenda. The FEC is primarily the agency monitoring campaign contributions. The motivation for having friendly board members seems clear enough. Its mandate calls for the 6 member board to have 3 Repubs and 3 Dems with a D and R rotating as chairman each year. It's designed to be apolitical and therefore is antithetical to Don's desire to politicize everything. Should he get away with it just because he won an election?

Illegal, lol. Your premise is already off the rails. Just because they paused it, does not make it ILLEGAL, it makes it under review.

By the way BERGERMEISTER, what about those 2, to 300,000 federal workers Bill Clinton got rid of? How could that be, and he was able to do it-) Know why? Because nobody was going to court, as their money train was under attack, lol.

Under the last Trump Administration, I had to defend him. I had zero confidence he could survive. This time, I get to attack YOU, because I know that your LEFTIST projections, are going to get hosed; and you will NOT survive POLITICALLY!

CYA, wouldn't want to be ya-)

You question why racists running the country bothers me?

Wow.

 

[scruffy]

The Campaign Legal Center, a legal nonprofit group that deals with voting issues, campaign finance and ethics, released a statement calling the president's firing of Weintraub illegal.

So what?

Another leftard spewing bullshit into the airwaves.

Not surprised.

 

[Billiejeens]

And I will go to war to uphold the Constitution from the bastardization of authoritarians and autocrats.

Wow.

Did it bother you when it was Obama?

 

[pknopp]

Did it bother you when it was Obama?

Being a racist

 

[pknopp]

Being a racist

So no actual examples. OK.

 

[Harry Dresden]

No its not. I saw several govt workers get canned and lost on appeals. Ultimately, they will lose.

what were they fired for?....

 

[Rogue AI]

Fake news based on a false premise. One would need to start with at least a single illegal firing. That has not occurred. Liberals will whine about anything these days.

Nope. Seems you must have been. I have no idea why I should remember what you do not.

Let's try this.

Give an example of President Trump being racist.
