Trump’s Power To Fire Employees Can Be Challenged

NOTUS: “The Trump administration’s go-to tactic for firing career federal employees — delivering form letters that cite President Donald Trump’s ‘Article II’ constitutional powers — is backfiring in a way that could bolster the flood of lawsuits against the government.”

“Until now, the White House had effectively shut down the primary legal avenue ex-employees had to challenge their terminations by refusing to fully staff an obscure government panel that handles workplace disputes. But a New York judge on Tuesday issued a decision that said the dismissals open the door to bringing the fight to federal court. It was the second such ruling this month.”
