Dr. Carla Hayden, the 14th Librarian of Congress, was fired by Pres. Trump today according to a press statement from @morelle.house.gov. Only the Legislative Branch should make decisions about the hiring & removal of the Librarian of CONGRESS. This needs to be fixed asap.

"Trump's firing of Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden is an untoward use of presidential power," said Daniel Schuman, Exec. Dir., American Governance Institute. "Dr. Hayden heads a legislative agency, and Congress should make that call. That unofficial arrangement should be made law."
I also didn't know the president also appointed the Architect of the Capitol until Congress changed it to a commission last year. Seems like an oversight to have not also included the librarian!

Where are you? Get busy!!!
The relevant committees are the House Administration Committee and the Senate Rules and Administration Committee – Morelle and Klobuchar have said what they're going to do.

But not, it seems, removal.
