Stephen Miller: “The president’s authority to fire any federal worker is plenary. There’s no lawful constraints that can be placed on the president to terminate a worker in the federal government. It’s a discretionary policy. That’s the basis of Article II in the Constitution and the idea of a single executive. When you have anyone in the federal government who exercises decision-making authority, who can’t be fired, then that person is a king.”
Jack Tapper: The law says 30 days, Stephen.
Miller: I’m telling you what the Constitution says.
Tapper: So you think the law is unconstitutional?
