Federal Judge…..President is ‘NOT the KING’….Reinstates NLRB member….

It just KEEPS going this way…..

Actually?

Trump & Co. are just trying to get away with as much as they can because Trump is the President…

BUT?

Firing Board or Commission MEMBERS HAVE to be with ‘Cause’ NOT ‘Will’…..

And the Federal Judges and the Supreme ‘s HAVE stayed with that so far…..

“An American President is not a king — not even an ‘elected’ one — and his power to remove federal officers and honest civil servants like plaintiff is not absolute, but may be constrained in appropriate circumstances, as are present here,” Howell wrote.

“A President who touts an image of himself as a ‘king’ or a ‘dictator,’ perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.” Article II is the section of the Constitution detailing the executive power of the presidency….
