Jack Smith Lawfare Strategist, Andrew Weissmann, Apoplectic at Immunity Decision – The President IS The Executive Branch

theconservativetreehouse.com

To start, the court wrote about powers that carry with them core, absolute immunity, the exercise of which cannot come under question in any forum. It specifically identified:

Pardons

Recognition of foreign governments

Removal of executive branch officials.

If it can’t be questioned . . . It also cannot be the grounds for impeachment, can it?

Let’s repeat: If it’s a core power, the exercise of the core power cannot be grounds for impeachment (*except if done in connection with taking a bribe).

In his first term, there was the threat that if President Trump fired . . .

Rosenstein
Barr
Fauci

That he would be prosecuted for obstruction of justice or impeached.

That threat is forever off the table now.

He can fire anyone he likes in the executive branch. The straightjacket is gone.

On that point, further, the majority opinion uses strong language consistent with the Unitary Executive theory of the Constitution. The President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.”

While there are areas of shared constitutional responsibility, the core powers of the Executive Branch, including personnel, are the President’s alone.

Schedule F

Boom.
