Rosenstein shouldn't even be fired. He should simply show up to work one day and find that the office of the Deputy AG doesn't even exist anymore.

It was never established by Congress anyway, so it can be eliminated from existence with the stroke of a pen.

Good info and right on

If the dems manage to steal either house in the midterms, Trump needs to go nuclear with Executive orders.

The dems will fight desperately to nullify Trumps Constitutional Right to use this useful tool.

Just look how Obama used it when the GOP held both houses.

Many executive orders are blatantly unconstitutional. Anything related to executive branch matters that only come under the president's authority because Congress authorized it are a different story.

As a point of fact and law, Congress can override any executive order by passing a law to do so, or by simply passing a spending authorization bill that explicitly doesn't fund whatever the president wanted to do.

I've seen this sort of thing work in the area of trucking regulations. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration imposes Regulation "X" (whatever it may be), and the trucking industry hates it. It's a legitimate regulation because Congress gave the FMCSA the authority to impose regulations on interstate trucking. If the industry is not successful in getting the FMCSA to rescind the rule, they'll pressure Congress to deal with it.

That's why you'll often see lines written into Federal highway bills that say something like: "Regulation X, adopted by the FMCSA on August 24th of 2018, is hereby null and void."
