Yeah. Then Putin took back the role of President using the argument that Medvedev being President allowed Putin to run again despite term limits.
Medvedev became Prime Minister, then everyone in Parliament resigned all at the exact same time, leaving the President as the only one running the place.
Putin rewrote the Constitution and that was the end of that.
NBC News asked about a possible scenario in which Vice President JD Vance would run for office and then pass the role to Trump. Trump responded that “that’s one” method.
That isn't a method. At in the sense that Trump obtains the title President. But we've seen during this administration that the President can delegate broad authority to others with zero questions.
So we could have a President who is still the President in name but has passed 99.9% of their duties to Trump who is an "independent contractor".
This is quite literally the foundation they're building with Musk.
Kids aren't going to work these stupid ass jobs. And if they are working a hotel, they aren't going to give a fuck if some stick up their ass tourist gets upset, they'll just flip the person off and walk out.
Teenagers aren't going to fucking fill these positions DeSantis is pitching. Migrants work it because they've got a need to do the work. A lot of teenagers work jobs because they'd like a little extra cash, but outside, they give flying fuck. Hell, the biggest fucking reason teens got jobs in the first place to fund their car is falling apart as more teens just skip the whole driving thing or start way later in life driving.
DeSantis is living in some yesteryear daydream.
cut waste and fraud
If at any point she actually believed Trump was going to do that, then mission accomplished. Her energy to empower Trump was wasted and she is only a fraud to herself.
I have very little in any expectation that she will learn from this. She will absolutely believe the next con man and lose again. That whole
I’m not sure that I would have [voted for Trump], and the way that it’s been done... I’m for balancing the budget, that type of thing, but not, not in this context, it’s just not right
Is just so devoid of any rational thought that I find it difficult to believe this person is real. And if what she says is indeed the fact, she's too blind, lacking a better appreciation of how government works, or some mixture of both that one could likely bank on her falling for this exact same con several more times in her life.
There's just no way anyone could have listened to Trump in the run up and bought so blindly what he was pitching. Just a simple basic understanding of the notion that humans lie is enough to have seen past Trump. Truly if this whole story is true, there's not a stopping this lady from more self flagellation. She is in a position that being a rational thinking person would not get themselves into, so there is no rational means to help her escape her level of desire to cause self harm.
The President doesn't have authority over Courts like that.
Congress regulate the scope of the Courts per Article III Section 1 of the Constitution. However, the Courts have the ability to rule any law unconstitutional that changes their authority too much.
Congress cannot get rid of the supreme court. It must always exist. But they can reduce the size to a single judge.
Hypothetically speaking, Congress can change the Justice system to be a single court with a single judge. Now they can reduce the size, but they can only impeach judges out of their job. So if they reduced the size to a single judge, they would have to wait until all the other justices died off or impeach the eight they want to get rid of.
The President only has the power to appoint Judges. And also Executive Orders only apply to the Executive. So EOs don't apply to Congress or the Judicial.
All that said, nothing stops the President from arresting Judges and throwing them in jail until the President gets his way. No President does that because that would likely lead to a very bad place for the US.
Of course that only applies to Presidents who give two shits about the country. So to answer your question, normally no. With Trump? I mean it wouldn't surprise me if he started disappearing judges he didn't like.
Congress has the power to nullify any and all tariffs with a two-thirds vote in each chamber.
Congress can then start rescinding those emergency powers acts that let Trump do this if he declares an emergency. Likely that'll need two-thirds vote as well.
Congress used to have Legislative Veto until it was ruled unconstitutional back in the 80s. Those emergency powers should have been reformed then.
Idiot. You literally voted to give the President the ability to call sequestration. It's right there in section 1113 of the fucking continuing resolution YOU voted for.
Schumer literally voted for this to happen and is now shocked that it is indeed happening. Goddamn, dude. Everyone told you to not give into the orange shit, you gave in anyway.
Literally this is peak FAFO. What a fucking idiot. THIS is why Democrats are losing.
Now my heart is doubtful. The world changes, and all that once was strong now proves unsure. How shall any tower withstand such numbers and such reckless hate?
Infrastructure week deux, the Tariff bugaloo.

Elon Musk is neither President or Vice President, yet yields a massive amount of power for someone who is just "an independent contractor".
This is what I'm getting at. That a JD Vance President and Mike Johnson VP (let's just say for sake of illustration) could indicate they're bringing Trump on as a "consultant" and then leave their jobs largely up to him.
Technically speaking Vance would still hold the title President but Trump would be executing most of the functions.
