    Jeet Heer Retweeted Cheryl Rofer

    Trump confirms that appointing people as "acting" cabinet officials is not just a stop-gap measure but something he actually favors. A way of overriding Senate oversight.https://twitter.com/CherylRofer/status/1081937290392305666 …

    But this is the really scary part - "I sort of like acting, it gives me more flexibility, do you understand that?"

        So much for the checks and balances in the U.S. Constitution. Now, if you’ll excuse, I have to go and check the definition of “autocracy.”

        Anyone have a legal opinion for how evergreen acting appointments are different/more allowable than recess appointments? I mean except that the latter was no-no'd by SCOTUS because a black guy did it. Asking for a friend's country.

        Who could put a stop to that? The Senate, l presume. If so, nothing will happen as long as there is a GOP majority.

        Shouldn’t we be referring to him as the Acting President? ‘A-Potus’? #ActingPresident

        When is a reporter going to ask Trump if he'd tolerate the same behavior from a Dem administration?

        It protects him from a potential 25th Amendment solution. It’s akin to the power to pardon himself which he also will try eventually.
