Imagine Trump fires Sessions and nominates someone. Senate let's him know that they refuse to confirm anyone he nominates. So his only logical recourse is to just work harder.... therefore, he decides the he will serve the country as acting AG and President, until the Senate decides to confirm a nominee.
Exactly. If the senate refuses to confirm a replacement, Trump can direct the DOJ, which he has full and unquestioned constitutional authority to do.
Interesting idea. My theory is that Trump is waiting for the 2018 midterm to get closer. Then he’ll lay out very publicly all the reasons Sessions has to go, and vow to assist Bannon in primarying any GOPer that doesn’t quickly help to confirm the new AG nominee.
It’s just a theory.

I’d love to see him fire on down-the-line ‘til he finds one he can count on\trust...’acting’ head.
Then, sic ‘em on D.C. and watch the fun
Trump has taught me how powerless people are who make threats like not confirming a replacement. they rely on a line not being crossed and usually have not thought through the ramifications of there threat. my guess is that if trump were to fire sessions that congress would blink first especially if Trump then goes on to remove other troubled individuals that through seniority would take his place as acting director.
