(31,286 posts)What's to stop Trump from firing the Joint Chiefs of Staff for refusing to obey illegal orders?
Given Trump's yen for imperiousness, and if he tries to pull something like that, they may be left with no choice.
I don't relish the idea in the least - and, after all it would leave Mike Putz with the run of the country. Nevertheless, it may come to that with this overgrown baby.

(2,037 posts)Luckily, this being the U.S. they'll probably just appear at the White House, invoke the 25th, and drag him out kicking and screaming by the armpits. The Armed Forces would be on high alert, naturally; but no tanks in the streets, thank God.
Of course, that would leave the run of the country to Mike Putz, Bitchy Mitchy, and the other congresscritters - many of whom are actually to the right of Trump on many issues.
Either way, not a pretty picture.

As far as I'm concerned, Chesty Puller was the last great Marine General...Mattis and Kelly together aren't good enough to shine his boots!!!

(4,642 posts)who vetoed a law that the Supreme Court and Congress both thought constitutional and fired cabinet secretaries who would not carry out his orders. Now I know why he was in such a hurry to hang Jacksons portrait in his office.
