federal Judge Thursday, a shot turned around National Labor and Industrial Relations Commission Presidential Member Donald Trump, Severe ruling That is to say, “The President of the United States is not the King.”
Order to restore former NLRB chairman Gwynne Wilcox A month after she sued and returned to the board.
“The president has no authority to terminate members of the National Labor and Industrial Relations Committee, and his attempt to fire plaintiffs from the board of directors was a blatant violation of the law,” Judge Beryl Howell wrote in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
Wilcox is the first member ever to be fired by the president. Trump replaced the chairman with another board member on his first day at the White House, and a week later he and NLRB’s top lawyer Jennifer Abruzzo fired her.
That email said Wilcox was the appointment of former President Joe Biden, who was terminated because “organizational leaders within the executive branch must share the goals of the (Trump) administration.”
But Howell said in his ruling Thursday that Trump “is completely wrong about his scope of constitutional powers (or more appropriately, his wishes).
“The president of the United States is not a king, or even a ‘elected’ king – his power to remove federal officials and honest civil servants (such as plaintiffs) is not absolute, but is restricted in due course.”
“A president who touts his image as a “king” or “dictator”, perhaps his vision for effective leadership, fundamentally illustrates the role of Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution.”
