Appeals Court Rules In Trump’s Favor, Says He Can Fire Two Executive Branch Officials

Daily Caller:

President Donald Trump is allowed to fire two board members from independent federal agencies after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit voted two to one to remove restrictions on the president’s ability to do so. 

The court agreed to remove orders imposed by two district judges earlier this month that blocked the Trump administration from removing Cathy Harris from the Merit Systems Protection Board and Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board. 

The appellate court, led by Judge Justin Walker, stated that Trump acted constitutionally when he fired the individuals. 

“Article II of the Constitution vests the ‘executive Power’ in ‘a President of the United States’ and requires him to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.’ ‘To protect individual liberty, the Framers created a President independent from the Legislative Branch,’” Walker wrote in his decision.  more

  1. The judiciary has gone power hungry wild and way out of their lane. It’s so bad that last week the 9th overturned some of these whacky decisions made by anarchist judges.
