Well, the library of Congress, it's an executive agency either, but look what he did. He's putting his former attorney in the position of the former librarian he fired last week. This is so way out of hand I think we need more than protesting.
Yes but the head is a presidential appointment. The Architect of the Capitol used to be a presidential appointment but Congress took that authority back a few years ago. (The AOC and the sergeants at arms of each chamber of Congress oversee the Capitol Police)
And as a legislative agency I do not think it is covered by the statute giving President the power to make acting appointments. So saying that Blanche is the acting head is wrong. At most one should say “potentially” in the interest of accuracy. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/3345
When confessional democrats decline, over and over to exercise, use or even acknowledge their constitutional powers they have —and they did this fully with the coup, other right wing brazen fuck you actions under Biden—they’re ceding these things over probably as permanently as war powers laws
Tell me how Trump was able to run again. If you really think Dems in Congress are powerless—oddly both in power & not—you’ve been fully suckered. Keep sending them $ though. I get the fundraisers about fighting ALL these things, they havent—largely have collaborated—you just haven’t sent enough.
Has WH entered an institution that was truly in the Legislative Branch to date. LC is not under the control of the WH. Congressional Research Service is housed there. U.S. Copyright is there.
Apparently I deleted the original screenshot after i cropped it. But i saw it when i searched on here for "copyright office". I don't know, but a lot of ppl were saying dayna (?) Was the only person saying t there was a standoff & then i saw that notice.
Capitol Police technically answer to a board with the sergeants at arms of each chamber and the Architect of the Capitol, who is appointed by a bipartisan commission. The chief of the Capitol Police would have immediate authority.
