Senior positions this high up are all appointed, and serve at the pleasure of the president- they can get fired at his very whim. No justifications required. Nothing to do with civil servants...

These aren't the positions I refer to. I'm talking about the permanent unelected positions, our anti-democratic civil "servants", many of whom are behaving seditiously (incl. failure to follow instructions) against their current constitutional executive & his appointees.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Unfortunately there’s far too much revolving door behavior between the civil services/private companies and other branches of the govt. Admin state is still far too strong. Overturning Chevron might help reduce the power of the unelected bureaucrats
-
Chevron deference is indeed a big part of the problem, but most of the problem is caused by our anti-democratic and anti-constitutional civil service laws.
-
Agreed, but it’s all part of the “beltway” culture that grants extreme deference to the so called “wisdom” of career bureaucrats. The “for cause” requirement effectively neuters the ability of a president to change policy in a meaningful way. Eg: Trump vs the “Resistance”

Constitution designates no such boss. It provides for checks and balances of three branches: executive, legislative and judiciary. This guy acts like the King of a country more than a democratically elected official. The last thing we need to do is let him abuse more power.
-
Those words like "executive" mean something, they aren't just symmetric branches doing the same thing. "Executive" means boss, with the power to hire and fire government employees.
-
It's an executive branch, not person. There's no CEO.

You are either extremely ignorant or a malicious liar. Either way, you are blocked you sick fuck. "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/articles/article-ii …

Unqualified? Lacks basic understanding? Check your grip, sir. Nick is not fanatical - being able to fire bad employees is a very basic capability that any executive should possess. Trump needs to be able to trust his staff to at least not undermine his administration. Basic.

I live in Italy where most everyone in the top tiers is either elected or appointed by representatives. I can tell you it's where truth goes to die and ppl worth nothing become princes of the state

Isn't that the definition of an authoritarian regime?
