No. I asked your opinion.No. I'm helping you avoid false reductionism.
You are arguing that Trump did a poor job filling the jobs.
OK. About par for the course.
No. In order to support that premise one would have to show that ANY one appointed to these positions could effectively control these agencies.
I see you failed to address something very important:
i) Do you support the President and his Appointees summarily firing anyone in the Executive Branch that is not following the policies of the President and his Appointees?
ii) Do they currently have the power to do that?
So you are now arguing that Trump can not enact change.
In order to support that premise one would have to show that ANY one appointed to these positions could effectively control these agencies.
Two very simple questions for you:
i) Do you support the President and his Appointees summarily firing anyone in the Executive Branch that is not following the policies of the President and his Appointees?
ii) Do they currently have the power to do that?
So once again you are arguing that Trump is incapable of doing anything about this.
Well, if the President, the Head of the Executive Branch cannot fire someone who won't follow his policy directives, then who sets policy for the Executive Branch, in our system?... I can't say that I support a president firing anyone for not following his directive unless I knew what that directive was.
Firstly the Constitution. If the presidents directive is unconstitutional, then no, I do not support his right to fire a director that refuses to uphold that.
