Where is Jeff Sessions?

Wrong in two ways.

First way-the Constitution says senior officials must be confirmed by the Senate.

Whittaker didn't do that. Therefore, Whitaker is not the Attorney General, regardless of what Trump tweets.

HEs laning on the "Appointment clause" of A2, sec 2, when its not mentioned there, Special prosecutors (counsel) are listed under the CFR.

the CFR has been adjuged as Constitutionally valid, but these issues as you brought up are the FACTS that Plump has yet to learn, despite all his hot shot atty's.

AND the issue of special counsels is NOWHERE in the Constitution,

Trump (and Oralloy) are just creating something that aint there.

ITS the entire reason that Plump wants to get this done NOW, by strangling off the exec offices that he does have powers under Constitutional reference.

He wants to get it done before the nxt Congress makes it virtually impossible

and hes panicking that his family is gonna be indicted.

However despite all the error laden beliefs of the president,

In all cases, the Congress reatains the final word.

Problem is, some of these fringe newsletters and papers MAKE **** UP (as our great president Obama said recently in a stump speech)

This is all based on Trump's actions via Exec Order from this past July (the one that removed the requirements under agencies for law judges). That one (It was Wxec Order 13843) has been laid on the table and will have to be somehow Adjuticated to TEST whether its even constitutional. (All presidents do this and this is but the first which Trump hs fucked with the CFR)

Nope.

Federal agencies are delegated authority, through legislation, jointly by the Executive and Legislative branches.

The Executive branch cannot unilaterally modify the terms of the delegation.

the President has the power to unilaterally rewrite the CFR

Thats bullshit because Trump only signed EO 13843, this past summer AND itll take sevral yars before a case comes up to even try it.

PS could you please quote or cite the section in the constitution that deals with specil counsel?

oh geez. now go find the actual citations about Special counsel. Hint: its in the CFR that I cited earlier an you denied (probably cause you didnt read it) right?.

ExecOrder 13843 has three major hits to th CFR an, if the president alrwady has CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY, why then would ya think he dropped a bomb on the CFR??? See that would split up his case by his admission that sec II maybe aint gonna support him.

AND, as a number of us said, CONGRESS has a major role in his "hire and fire" dreams.

We have a president who is fairly light in that his posse seems to lak deep knowledge of constitutional law.

Ive been reading several papers of woe from constitutional lawyers and scholars who are seeing large paydays ahead as this whole thing waddles its way to the USSC (and probably gets annulled by the next resident)

You are forgetting that the Republicans are going to hold the White House for 20 years.

I already did. This was only yesterday. You said you ither didnt read it or didnt find it. Are you familiar with the Legal Sidebar of the Congressional Research Service?? CLICK CLICK

My prediction has been consistently about the White House from the first time I made it in February 2016.

It's going to be worse for the Democrats than for the Republicans. Trump is going to reshape the Republican Party to fit his views, but I'm upping my electoral predictions now to say that the Republicans are guaranteed to win the next five presidential elections.

It'll be Trump. Trump in 2020 as well.

2024, 2028, and 2032 will also see Republicans elected president.

I'm reminded of Asimov's Foundation trilogy, at the points when the remnant of an old order that is about to be swept away is still acting like they have a future.

Poignant.

Oh well. Let's get on with the future.

Hawkeye saw Trump coming long before the first votes were cast.

I didn't see it until the New Hampshire primary results were announced, but have consistently predicted ever since that point that Mr. Trump is going to smash the Democrats so hard that they will be out of the White House for a good 20 years.

The right are about to shut the Democrats out of the White House for 20 straight years.

There are some old school Reaganites who don't like how Mr. Trump is going to reshape the Republican Party, but once the Democrats have been electorally obliterated I suspect most conservatives will come around to liking Mr. Trump a lot more.

It's too late. There was only one shot at defeating Mr. Trump, and that was getting behind Mr. Rubio from New Hampshire on.

All this panic from the establishment at this point is just closing the barn door after the horses have already escaped (is that how the saying goes?), and is just doing pointless damage to the party.

Mr. Trump is going to be our next president, and as such he will have the power to reshape the Republican Party to fit his values. The Right might want to start dealing with that, because it's going to happen whether they like it or not.

It'll be much worse for the Left. They are going to be out of power for a good 20 years.

First way [Whitaker cannot be Attorney General]-the Constitution says senior officials must be confirmed by the Senate.

Whittaker didn't do that. Therefore, Whitaker is not the Attorney General, regardless of what Trump tweets.

That doesn't diminish the President's power to fire people.

The president's ability to fire Sessions is limited for a reason I will describe later.

However, even granting for the sake of argument that Trump can fire Sessions this way, he still can't appoint Whitaker, even temporarily, as Attorney General because the Constitution says senior officials must be confirmed by the Senate. That is why Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein had to get confirmed by the Senate before he could even be appointed to Deputy Attorney General, let alone actual Attorney General-because the Deputy Attorney General must be ready to take over in case of emergency. He can't do that if the Senate hasn't confirmed him. Source: Dep't of Justice website.

I confess that I haven't taken much interest in the Whitaker kerfuffle, so I am not qualified to offer an opinion.
