Kennedy Center?
Sounds important.
... (badly and occasionally throwing the board against the wall), President Trump has been playing 4D chess since early in the Biden administration.
er, et. al. v Biden
It's a really amusing backstory to Trump's firing of the Kennedy Center board.
In a petty move, President Biden fired Sean er from a service board, to which he had been appointed by President Trump, during his first term. er's term was already set to expire on November 1, 2021 but, he received an email from the President's office, on September 1, 2021, demanding he resign and clear out by 6:00 P.M. that day or be fired...a mere 60 days before his term was to naturally expire, at which time Sean er figured he wouldn't be reappointed, anyway. er says he didn't see the point is contesting the firing so, he was ready to just move on.
Well, Stephen Miller (current White House Assistant Chief of Staff) approached er and others that were similarly fired and persuaded them to sue President Biden.
The goal? To get a judge and an appeals court to rule the President had unlimited, unreviewable power to fire any appointee in any agency. To set that precedent for the next Republican President - who he believed would be Donald J. Trump.
As predicted a judge ruled against er and he lost on appeal. Precedent set.
In the video, er tells Glenn Beck that when President Trump fired the Kennedy Center Board, they were advised to sue the President. They responded, "We can't, there a court ruling from just a couple of years ago giving Trump the power to fire them all. Biden v. er. It's a lock-tight precedent."
Brilliant! The hits just keep coming.

Is he a bull in a China shop or is he playing chess?
It can't be both
You should probably read er, et. al. v Biden. As the judge explains and the appellate court upheld, the President authority to hire and fire appointees is absolute and extends beyond the Kennedy Center board or any of the other over 200 boards and commissions that are routinely populated by Presidential cronies. It also extends to people like Hampton Dellinger, who case is now sitting at the Supreme Court. If they apply the precedent set by er, et. al. v Biden, that should settle the matter over who Presidents can hire and fire definitively.

Sure it can. Chess is analogous to battle...the violent taking of an opponent's pieces.
bull in a china shop

So the next Democrat president will have unlimited power.
All Presidents have had the power of the Executive.
Except when you didn't want them to.
I have no say in it.
You post about it al the time.
We all post about things we can't control but, now that you mention it; I did have my say on November 5th.
