That is roughly what Donald Trump did last week when he fired a slew of inspectors general in the executive branch.
He broke a law that Congress passed as a reform because of his own earlier behavior as president.
What he did flings the door wide open to run-of-the-mill corruption and potentially far worse.
He doesn’t care, and it seems unlikely that the broader public will care.
And there’s surely more of this kind of thing on the way.
The White House didn’t release the names of the terminated, but the Post and others found out.
In other words, it’s a guardrail against the abuse of executive power that was put into place because of the only other law-flouting Imperial President in this country’s modern history besides Trump. »
