Was lernt man in der Schule: #Gewaltenteilung #Legislative #Judikative #Exekutive

Und jetzt rennt einer von der Legislative mit den Symbolen der Exekutive rum! Da hat aber einer im Politikunterricht nicht aufgefasst. Möge er niemals einen bedeutenden Posten in unserer Staatsform einnehmen ... ach, hat und hatte er schon ...

Ja dann weiß ich auch nicht mehr weiter! Was sagt denn die Judikative dazu?

“The charges against me are purely political—they mischaracterize & distort my actions, & are meant to #criminalize & deter #legislative #oversight,” she said.

#AlinaHabba also announced that she had dismissed a misdemeanor charge for trespass against #RasBaraka, the Democratic mayor of #Newark, whose arrest had precipitated the flare-up w/federal agents after he sought to join the lawmakers on their tour of the detention center.

In both these roles, over the past few years, I've been asked to serve on diverse bodies that offer guidance about how the #Executive & #Legislative branches can be stewards of #knowledge & create structure to enable #discovery, #innovation, & #ingenuity. In the instance of the National #Science Board, this ideal has dissolved so gradually, yet so completely, that I barely noticed its absence until confronted with its hollow simulacrum.

*„Rechtskampf“ der AfD: Höcke lässt sich 62-seitigen Persilschein ausstellen*

Höckes Gutachter versucht Trumps Trick der absoluten #Immunität des #USPräsidenten
Er wechselt lediglich von einer Staatsgewalt, zu einer anderen: von der #Exekutive zur #Legislative.

Es ist bedauerlich, das...

She was fired in a two-sentence email from Trent Morse, the deputy director of White House personnel, acc/to a screenshot released by Senator Martin Heinrich of NM, the top #Democrat on the #Appropriations Subcommittee on the #Legislative Branch.

“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately,”the email said, without citing a cause. “Thank you for your service.”

The #Constitution set up a #SeparationOfPowers among the federal government's #coequal #executive, #legislative & #judicial branches.

Proponents of a *conservative* legal doctrine called the "#UnitaryExecutive" theory that envisions vast executive authority for a president portray Humphrey's as wrongly decided. They argue that #ArticleII gives a president sole authority over the executive branch, including the power to fire heads of #independent agencies despite protections under #law.

…The fate of the statutory protections in question rests on how #SCOTUS treats Humphrey's Executor & related rulings. In the 1935 ruling, the court upheld for-cause removal protections for FTC members, faulting Roosevelt's firing for policy differences.

In that decision, SCOTUS said restricting a president's removal was lawful because that agency performed tasks more closely resembling #legislative & #judicial functions, rather than those belonging squarely to the #ExecutiveBranch.

§6 General Provisions [notably this puts #OMB Dir & #Project2025 architect #RussVought essentially in charge]
“the functions of the Director of the Office of Management & Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or #legislative proposals.”

…A longtime force on the #Judiciary Cmte, Mr. #Durbin became its chair in 2021, resisting calls from progressives that he make room for a younger member given his leadership role & other #legislative responsibilities.

He subsequently oversaw the confirmation of 235 federal #judges during the Biden admin—including one #SCOTUS justice—surpassing by one the number of judges confirmed by #Republicans during an aggressive push in #Trump’s first term.

Several #Texas #Christians & 2 small businesses sued in federal court in Texas in 2020 to challenge the #USPSTF,'s structure. It is the latest in a years-long series of challenges to the 2010 #law, Pres #Obama's signature #legislative achievement, to reach #SCOTUS.

If the justices uphold the lower court's ruling, #health associations said in a filing, life-saving tests & treatments that have been cost-free would become subject to co-pays & deductibles.

If the #Trump admin doesn’t comply with the #law & provide the agreements made with the Salvadoran government, what will they do?

They can’t impeach with #Republicans controlling both chambers of #Congress.

Even if they then sue & win, Trump has shown he won’t abide by any court orders, not even orders from #SCOTUS.

There is no enforcing body willing or able to hold him accountable.

In that famously hot, stuffy room in Philadelphia, windows closed for the sake of secrecy, they sweated & argued about how to limit the powers of the American executive. They arrived at the idea of dividing #power between different branches of govt. As James Madison wrote in “Federalist No. 47”: “The accumulation of all powers, #legislative, #executive, & #judiciary in the same hands…may justly be pronounced the very definition of #tyranny.”

#Gay #US #Rep. #MarkPocan hopes #November’s #election will turn the page on #DonaldTrump and the #farright.

As the #chair of the #Congressional #EqualityCaucus, out Pocan’s #commitment to #advancing the #rights of #LGBTQ+ #people is more than just #legislative — it’s #personal.

#POTUS recounted his various #legislative achievements, arguing they helped put the country back on track after the #COVID19 #pandemic, lower the #unemployment rate & bolster the #MiddleClass.

#Biden cited the $1.2T bipartisan #infrastructure #law that funded improvements to roadways, railways, ports & airports across the country.

He pointed to the #Chips & #Science Act, another bipartisan piece of #legislation that funded investments in semiconductor chip manufacturing.
