The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court Thursday to let the president fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission, the latest in a string of emergency petitions over the president’s removal power.

The fight over the president’s power to fire could prompt the court to consider overturning a 90-year-old Supreme Court decision known as Humphrey’s Executor. In that case from 1935, the court unanimously held that presidents cannot fire independent board members without cause.

    They’ve gotta walk from a form of transport into / out of buildings at some point.

    Or into / out of wherever they live.

    Or on / off planes.

      They also go to restaurants and use bathrooms. With element of surprise it just takes a sturdy pen to the jugular, really surprised we aren’t seeing some of this. I guess there are so many short people they are good at redirecting blame.
