Sure it could have. The president had the same power to fire an IG then as now as Obama did 6 years ago.

Its because of the ever increasing power and scope of the federal govt at the expense of the states.
Not at all. It should not have been trampled on for the last 100 something years.

I get the feeling that the Democrats new found love for the 10th will vanish as soon as we have a Democrat President again.
Along with the constitution generally.JonNC:

But an IG is created by statute specifically not to be " his people" from a loyalty perspective.
If loyal, the IG SERVES NO PURPOSE.
That is what has been misrrpresented

What IG did Obama fire and was it for disloyalty?
Does he work at the pleasure of the chief executive? Yes. The chief executive has the legitimate power to fire him.
Don’t get me wrong, Obama had the legitimate power to fire them, to fire all of those ambassadors, and others. The president has the power to put in place the people he/she wants.

The reasons for Obama’s actions have been listed several times in this thread, and those reasons were at the advice of many others, and were independently justified. Trump’s, not at all.LeafByNiggle:
I’ve provided instances where the previous president did exactly the same.

The statute provides a notice provision to Congress and a requirement of good grounds.
No loyalty is specifically not a good ground.
You are confusing power to fire for unqualified power to fire.

Because of an investigation of an Obama pal. Like I said, he had the power to do so.
I’m sure Schiff will investigate, if he has time around making up

Grassley’s letter needs to be responded to. " Not a Trump guy," is beyond the fact patterns involving the two IGs with Obama. Especially when the subject investigation involved DONALD TRUMP DIRECTLY AND PERSONALLY.
It may be that there is no recourse. But at this point if it is the case, Grassley has to act

Vicious Tyrant Trump Wants To Let People Leave Their Homes
WASHINGTON, D.C.—By all accounts, President Donald Trump has now gone completely mad with power. In a press briefing, he laid out his insidious plan.“When I’m done with this country, everyone will be able to leave their houses whenever they want and do whatever they want,” Trump told the press...

Ironically they do fiction and so did not address Trump gathering all power in 50 states on to himself

Just because it is sarcastic that does not mean that it is untrue!
The great thing about “stories” like this is the “Trump is a dictator” crowd act even more absurdly than the “Obama is a dictator” crowd did.

Trouble is: Trump, in effect, said it. And looking the other way - don’t take him literally, has benn worn out.
