Gee. Almost as though the DC Circuit suddenly (unexpectedly??) understands Article Two.
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Donald Trump was within legal parameters when he fired Democratic appointees at federal agencies and filled the positions with new board members.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit handed down a decision ruling that Trump did not abuse presidential powers when he removed Cathy Harris from the Merit Systems Protection Board and Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board....
... the appeals court majority ruled that “Congress cannot restrict the President’s ability to remove NLRB or MSPB members” because the two agencies exert substantial executive branch authority....
Lots more Trump victories will follow this. The DC Circuit's acknowledgement of Article Two broke the logjam.
