As the DOGE turns.

Returning to our regularly scheduled broadcast.

Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 1, Sentence 1 states: "The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." No exceptions, no conditionals, nothing in the sentence that might be subject to interpretation. If it is an agency or Dept. within the Executive branch then the Prez. is the boss. And EVERYTHING that is not under the Legislative or the Judicial IS under the Executive. And it is further true that neither the Legislative nor the Judicial can dictate, or limit, the Constitutional powers of the Executive.

For decades now various legislators have created these so called "independent agencies" and buried their creation is other very important legislation and the various legislators and presidents have allowed them to come into existence rather than create political firestorms that would jeopardize the truly important legislation.

Those days are over. Trump has decided enough is enough and he's going to fully exercise his Constitutional powers and that means that those "independent agencies" are going to find out they really aren't independent at all and all those piss ant inferior court judges are going to find out they don't run the Executive branch.

All of that shit is going to end up at SCOTUS and Trump will prevail by 5:4 minimum, and most likely 6:3.

Lie. Congress has the constitutional power to create independent agencies and to limit the president's power over them. The president is not a "unitary executive" as W's lawyers so dishonestly tried to claim.

Read the fucking Constitution moron.

I'm an attorney, and a history buff besides. I know the Constitution a lot better than you do. And I know that "originalism" is never anything more than ventriloquism in a cemetery.

 

[Rebel5soul]

In that case you will have no problem citing for the class the EXACT Article, Section, and Paragraph in the Constitution that spells out this 'shared' executive power.

 

[Politruk]

It is becoming obvious that DOGE is completely incompetent to improve government efficiency.

Musk should have assembled a team of efficiency experts and forensic accountants. Those exist, they're available.

 

[Politruk]

In that case you will have no problem citing for the class the EXACT Article, Section, and Paragraph in the Constitution that spells out this 'shared' executive power.

Article 1, Section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Legislative powers includes the power to design the executive branch, including independent agencies. The president does not have that power. DOGE has no legal authority,

 

[Rebel5soul]

LMAO You got Section 1 right, but you have imbued congress with powers that do not exist as per Section 8. Congress authorizes and funds, it does not manage.

Congress creates. No executive agency exists unless Congress creates it -- and Congress, not the president, writes the agency's mission statement, which the president is powerless to change.

Try thinking that through. Show us your power of independent reasoning.

Civil servants are not bound by presidential orders that go against their agency's mission statement.

First thing Trump demanded of James Comey was "loyalty." But the FBI Director must never be loyal to the president -- it is the FBI's job to police the White House, because nobody else can.

Hmmm, still have a problem thinking things through I see.

Let's start with a simple question, what /who is the source of the "demands loyalty" assertion and what is the full context? Then we move on to the notion that the FBI "exists to police the White House." Do you understand what you are asserting? That the FBI is chartered to maintain a constant undercover operation against the White House without predicate?

Where did you get your law degree, the correspondence school of University of Lower Bumfuckistan? Thank God that those who think like you are being purged from the government.

Comey's account of a lunch he had with Trump as part of the 2017 transition. Any sensible person would believe Comey, who had no reason to make this up.

No, but somebody has to police the WH when it becomes necessary, as in the Nixon Admin, and only the DOJ and FBI are in a position to do it. Could the DC police?

President musk calls Senator, astronaut, decorated combat pilot Mark Kelly a traitor and immediately regrets it.



Kelly, a former astronaut who served as a combat pilot during a 25-year Navy career, commented to reporters when asked about Musk, "Obviously, he's not a serious guy."

On X, Kelly had responded: "Traitor? Elon, if you don't understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do."

Kelly's trip was his third visit to Ukraine since 2023.



ChodeBum's hero is a fucking disgrace.
