Dear Editor: Perhaps a Republican can explain to me WHY Trump keeps running against law and order. Judges coast to coast are halting Trump’s actions because they VIOLATE THE LAW. But WHY is it that the Republicans don’t do what it takes to make Trump’s actions LEGAL? After all, they hold majority in BOTH houses of Congress; they can pass whatever legislation they want to.
WHY would Congress not make DOGE an official governmental department, making the head person Secretary of DOGE, a cabinet position? Then it would have the authority of being properly and Constitutionally formed, and the President could sign it into law. Why not DO this? How long could it take to put the bill forward and vote on it? Surely Trump would sign it??
Why not simply pass legislation to simply dissolve USAID, the Department of Education, FEMA, and every other department Trump wants to get rid of? Why go through the pain and confusion of firings and laying off and forcing resignations and offering early retirements and padlocking doors and pulling signs off of buildings and all the chaos? Why would Congress not consult with the president, get a list of agencies to be liquidated, write up and pass that legislation? That would make all these actions LEGIT. WHY doesn’t this Congress legitimize Trump’s actions?
