On April 9, 2020 an editorial by the New York Sun entitled, Trump Is on Hallowed Ground in Challenging Inspectors General, discussing a letter from a "bipartisan" group of Senators wanting to know why the President of the United States fired an inspector general. Needless to say, Mitt Romney and Susan Collins were on board with that, but why is Grassley on board with this? Because he bounces around like a ping pong ball. Grassley, as an ally, is at best a leaky vessel.
The man is 86 years old and needs to go home, along with Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and a host of others in Congress.
The article clearly outlines what the Constitution says from the perspective of the one who was largely responsible for its writing, John Adams, who made it clear there was to be a separation of powers between the legislative, executive and judicial branches of this new government, and none them had the right to infringe on the rights, privileges and responsibilities of the other.
The article advised the President to respond to these Senators by saying he fired him "on the advice of John Adams."
The Constitution gives the President of the United States sole executive powers, and these Inspector General law steps on the separation of those powers designed by the founders by creating an office of the executive branch that has "divided and possibly inconsistent obligations to the executive and legislative branches, violate the doctrine of separation of powers and are constitutionally invalid.”
Please view what's known as "the Harmon Memo" regarding the very real Constitution conflicts this law creating the Office of the Inspector General.
