Welcome to log out. My colleague today Joshua Keating I focused on Donald Trump’s firing of senior military officials, a move that cemented the military’s new opposition mission that could have greater consequences later.
What’s the latest? Trump fired Charles Q on Friday night. BrownJr. – Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and nominated for retirement Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine Replace him. The head of the Navy Operations, the Air Force’s Deputy Prime Minister and three senior legal officials were also fired.
Can Trump do this? Yes. The president is the commander-in-chief and has the right to choose leadership. Kane will need the Senate to confirm the new position. Legally speaking, only a four-star general is eligible for the position, while Kane is three-star, but the president has the legal right to this claim in some cases.
Why does Trump change personnel? Brown sees diversity, equity and inclusion work as crucial to the military’s ability to operate, and Trump and new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized the effort, which is distracting .
Hegseth said on Fox News on Sunday that he wanted legal officials who provided “constitutional advice and There is no obstacle to trying to be anything – Anything that happens in their attractions. “He also said that the current lawyers are selected by an internal group of people who will completely change the status quo.
What is the overall situation? Trump’s first chairman Mark Milley said He is worried that Trump will deploy U.S. troops at home In an illegal way. If Trump tries it now, senior military leaders will face the option of executing orders or becoming a “barrier”.
After Friday night’s shooting, Trump has the ability to install a group of carefully selected officers to lead the world’s most powerful combat power. These people will be responsible for fulfilling the constitution’s oath, even if it means opposing Trump.
