The Vacancies Act limits the duration anyone can serve in the role. In a normal, sane, competent administration, they’d have people whom the President would want to keep on. Here, not so much.

Hey guys, we’re going to war! Also, the acting secretary of defense is resigning!

In this administration, he’ll just exchange one eager, incompetent flunky for another who will then be able to put the position on their graft CV when their de facto term expires.
Add this to the pile of impeachable offenses.
Really, going against the spirit of so many laws designed to give the President discretion in extreme circumstances is constructively betraying your oath of office.
The obstruction of justice during the Mueller investigation is probably near the bottom of the list of the things he could and should be impeached for.
I hate to say this because it infers exactly WHY I’m saying this.
Sanders isn’t the Fox News type. They prefer a type, very heavily.

OTOH, she was White House Press Secretary for Trump, so that gives her leverage.
That’s on them - not you.
But she did so little, publicly, in that job that I’m not sure that’s a ringing endorsement? I could see them inviting her on some panels and whatnot.
Liberals hate SHS so I’m sure that will give her some opportunities.

She’s going to be fine. I predict she goes to some big PR agency that specializes in representing Republicans. She could pull in $400-$500k as a VP.
She has been talking about running for her dad’s old job (governor). Wouldn’t that be swell?

She and Arkansas deserve each other.

They’ll give her a show, but then never produce any episodes.
Must be nice to be a relentless liar and a complete failure and still getting jobs. She’s a walking metaphor for DJT.
Was thinking this kind of leverage
What a man of God Mike Pence is.
Pence is nothing more than self-righteous damn-others-in-the-name-of-Jesus prick. Up his hole with a dirty pole.
