I Guess I Spoke Too Soon/Optimistically: Tangerine 2.0 DOES NOT Have Authority To "Fire" Jerome Powell. Nope.

To be clear, this is patently obvious -- to anyone who's looked carefully at it:

The preznit cannot fire the Fed Chair. Nope.

Except for very narrow "for cause" -- affirmative, intentional misconduct (like, say. . . conviction of felonies -- oops. . . but that would be. . . yep, Tangerine 2.0, hisself -- and, should be fired! He remains a convicted financial frauds felon, after all).

But I digress. Where was I? Oh. Right.

Just yesterday, I quoted (what I had then hoped was an academic point). . . had hoped. . . would would never be a "live" discussion: the idea that Trump might try to "fire" or dismantle -- the Fed.

Now. . . just a day later, it is more or less. . . "live" -- at least in the sense that the orange dotard is raging on his dead letter social media service . . . about doing some version of it. It is a "no chance" possibility.

Chief J. Roberts will never G for it.

But the frothy hard right opines that maybe Baby T has a point. He does not -- unless he resigns at the same time, for being a convicted felon.

Geez -- who are these. . . malign morons, giving the "vacancy in chief" his sound-bites? Who?
