    Jeet Heer Retweeted Jeff Flake

    It's too bad the only recourse is begging. If only there was a coequal branch of government tasked with holding the president in check!https://twitter.com/JeffFlake/status/976218069491179526 …

    We are begging the president not to fire the special counsel. Don't create a constitutional crisis. Congress cannot preempt such a firing. Our only constitutional remedy is after the fact, through impeachment. No one wants that outcome. Mr. President, please don't go there.

        Oh well, probably should just post on social media about it and then not run for re-election. I mean what else is a sitting Senator to do?

        He says Congress can't preempt such an action, but wasn't there talk of Congress empowering their own Special Prosecutor role for Mueller?

        Unfortunately, Congress is helpless because the framers of the Constitution never thought about what might happen if we had a reckless, lawless chief executive.

        It’s more complicated than that. This hypothetical coequal branch would have to be able to craft legislation too.

        Give me a break. Flake is grandstanding (again.) I think anti Trump people want him to fire Mueller just because.

        They could pass a Special Counsel Law, and override a veto. But, Republicans don’t follow the Family Values principals they profess.

        It's true, technically, that Congress cannot preempt a firing, as it is part of the President's constitutional authority to hire and fire. But Congress *could* pass a new independent counsel law & make one of its conditions that it be automatically triggered by Comey's firing.

        Pathetic. And he's wrong. Lots of people want impeachment. Lots.
