President Joe Biden fought a lawsuit brought by two former government officials appointed during the first Trump administration, contesting the legality of their unceremonious firings. Biden won, paving the way for President-elect Donald Trump to wield executive power that the Democrats will end up wishing he didn’t have.
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer and former Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought sought to block their removal from the U.S. Naval Academy’s Board of Visitors in 2021 after Biden took office.
U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich ruled that the lawsuit should be dismissed, citing the U.S. Code stating that executive officials are not insulated from presidential removal.Instead of focusing on the stranded Americans left in #Afghanistan, President Biden is trying to terminate the Trump appointees to the Naval Academy, West Point and Air Force Academy.
