It attempted to criminalize the legitimate constitutional powers of the president in firing politically appointed underlings who serve at the behest of the chief executive. It sought to pervert the intent of the 25th Amendment through a far-flung scheme to roust Trump from his office ostensibly because of an incapacitated state............To Read More....
