@Phil Re what if there’s a catastrophic official when Congress is on leave, almost always independent agencies permit Presidential termination for cause. If “catastrophic” is just disagrees with the President, that’s what independent agencies are supposed to enable. In extreme cases, Congress can always convene. Again, the vigor or Congress—not the courts, or the President, or the Fed—is the heart of our problem. There’s no democracy in our system without repairing Congress./fin
