Rep. Joseph Morelle of New York, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, sent a letter to colleagues informing them of his intent to file the resolution, which would kickstart what’s traditionally a cumbersome amendment process.

“This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do — prioritize our democracy,” Morelle said in a statement to AP.

    Trump signed an executive order and made much of the executive branch fire-able. Go far enough and that influence can turn into control over other parts of the government.

    There’s a path to effective termination.

      Nah, that one only works because the executive branch belongs to the president. It’s kind of like my boss saying there’s a new rule at my work and he can fire you at will from your work.

      It would be a really convenient way to go if it worked though…
