There re is no "Acting" anything in the constitution.

This goes back to motive, Trump is doing this for corrupt purposes. Only Trump cultists think otherwise. The guy is completely unqualified and in fact is nothing more than a political hack sent there to do Donald's bidding. Obama's situation was very different, as it lacked corrupt purposes and even one of the ones you lists is in fact the Senate fault for not confirming. 

 

If it came down to brass tacks, I'd just say Obama's officails were unconstitutional, too. They had not been confirmed. But no one seriously thought they were corrupt, so no one cared.

I find it hilarious that these knuckleheads decide to keeping posting the NPC meme and calling people they don't like "NPC's". And yet, they are copying and pasting from 4chan, keep to simple (incorrect) answers, and have the same talking points.

 

Irony is lost upon them. They think it's the next country ISIS takes (after I-raq, I-ran, those secret muslims must be coming from I-rony) ?

Keep to simple and incorrect answers? This from NPCinPhilly who has been shown to be wrong on nearly everything he's ever written on trump Russia collusion and now won't even engage in a discussion about how he was wrong. :lol:

 

Its cute when NPCs try to evade their own track records down here. Hilarious but cute.

Let's be fair: Philly's whining above was at least original, and not NPC-like.

 

It's bubble-headed, devoid of any thought, rationality, or common sense, and not nearly as funny as he thought it was.  But it's clearly not the product of an NPC.

Except it was just a dressed up "double dumbass on you" comment.

This from the guy who thinks you need ID to buy cereal

 

The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess. They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts. They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want. They are a disgrace to our Nation and don’t...

Holy Christ.  

 

It's outlined in the Vacancies Reform Act of 1998.  Which, if you'd read it, absolutely allows for Whittaker's appointment in an acting capacity.  And you've been given multiple examples where it's been done before.  

 

What's not codified anywhere is this idea of "principal" vs. "minor" officials, which you used last week to push a "But that's different!" argument.

Entirely my point.  NPCs don't dress things up.  That's what makes them NPCs.

HA HA, Tom is so ignorant. An Act is not part of the Constitution. 

 

Tom thinks an act is part of the Constitution. 

 

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the President can appoint a principle officers without the advice and consent of the Senate.

stupid *****

 

It's been demonstrated to you repeatedly that he can.  And the VRA satisfies the portion of the Constitution that says Congress can delegate such appointment powers to the President as they see fit.  But nowhere, in anything - the Constitution, case law, statute, precedent - does anyone ever make a mention of "principal" vs. "minor" officers.

 

Read the law, read the Constitution, and read all the precedents.  You have already been given ALL of this information in this thread.

You mean like this? :) 

Section 2

1: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

 

 

2: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Has there ever been an Acting AG before? 

 

And you just insulted me. 

 

Yes, there has. Many, many times. Sally Yates, for one.

 

Also, it's no longer World Kindness Day. Enjoy your afternoon!

She was approved by the Senate, though. But ya. This clown they have now was not. Has there ever been an Acting AG not approved by the Senate for job in DOJ?

She was never approved by the Senate to be the Attorney General.
