Sounds good to me. This is something that has been needed for a long time.

btw, what part of "We will pass critical reforms..." do you not understand? This has nothing to do with "expanded presidential powers". This is about Congress.

No.

He's talking about a Republican-controlled Congress and him.

Seriously...if you didn't have stupid spin and lies, you'd have nothing to say here.

Bullshit, either you can't read or don't comprehend what you read. The low life S.O.B. wants to be a TYRANT... his dumb ass don't understand what the Role and Job of a President is. It damn sure is not to try and supervise, manage, and hire and fire government employees.

The best thing for America, is for this S.O.B. to have a stoke or a heart attack.... it would have been good if the plane that had engine trouble has lost all engines !

Or someone has no sense of humor. Guess for some we can only say kind and good things about Trump.

Yeah, he wants Congress to hand the presidency more power. We all understand that.

Do you agree with him that this is something Congress should do?

Congress makes the laws...the President signs them. That's how it works, you know?

And yes...every President tells Congress what he wants them to do.

I do.

The President is the head of the Executive Branch. He should have the right to hire and fire.

No employee should be exempt from that. It doesn't work in the business world and it certainly doesn't work in the federal government.

A purely politically appointed executive branch is an incredibly dangerous and frightening concept.

It's not as bad as an executive branch that is politically biased against the current President.

Neither is a good thing.There are people of all political stripes in the executive branch. Most just doing their jobs without political influence.

The president is head of the executive department.
His job includes supervising the work of subordinates within that department.

It’s a total shit idea that shouldn’t and won’t happen.

Aside from appointed positions granted by the Constitution and law, other federal civil service employees are rightly protected from politically motivated revenge.
