Trump: You won’t have to vote again

[Susanna]

Having a chain of command doesn't negate ultimate authority. Everyone below the level of President is under the authority of the President.

It's no different from any company. The owner of the company may delegate to individuals to oversee the different divisions of the company, but the owner still has authority over every employee there.

The president can’t override the authority of the prosecutors. That’s one example.

Why does Trump say 1) He doesn’t know about them, and 2) He doesn’t agree with all their opinions?

Just one thing for starters: the entire executive branch will be under direct control of the president?

That’s extremism 101.

He said he had nothing to do with it and doesn't agree with it. That doesn't stop people from bearing false witness and saying it's his agenda.

Prosecutors are in the Judicial branch. The President has no say over that branch of government. The President can, however, pardon those convicted of federal crimes or commute sentences.

That's incorrect. US Attorneys are in the Executive Branch.

The Department of Justice does fall under the Executive branch. The President does select the head of the department, subject to congressional approval. The department was originally begun to assist the President and Cabinet in matters of law as well as to prosecute Supreme Court cases. Of late, it has been used to attack political foes.

Initially, I was simply trying to show that the President has authority over the entire Executive branch. When I saw that my answer might be confusing, I added additional information.

Yeah, anyone who says Biden wasn't involved in political prosecutions hasn't been watching.

I've never understood why anyone thinks there should be unelected bureaucrats who are accountable to no one in charge of government agencies that can take away your rights, livelihood and freedom.

Supposedly they are accountable, like any employee is. And it's not like the bureaucrats aren't doing the bidding for the one in charge.
Politics is like a very large ship. It takes a long time to turn around.
What I don't get is why people put up with it. Our founders would have got their powder and got their gun, and reported to General Washington.

Big fuss over absolutely nothing as usual. Trump derangement syndrome. Just looking for problems where none exist.
It's shameful for Christians to be inflamed by this satanic, Marxist hatred that is tearing civilisation apart.
