The Appointments Clause of the Constitution.

[ExpressLane]

The Appointments Clause allows Congress to vest the appointment of "inferior officers" in the President, the Courts of Law, or the Heads of Departments. The definition of "inferior officer" is based on the importance of the officer's responsibilities, the limited nature of their duties, and the narrowness of their jurisdiction.

The Appointments Clause reads in relevant part “[The President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint… all other Officers of the United States… but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, ...

=======================================

Congress has not empowered the DOJ to appoint inferior officers. They have empowered the Department of Energy and a few other departments like HHS with the power to appoint inferior officers. Sack Smith is an inferior officer and his position has not been authorized by Congress. Everything that Jack Smith is doing is unconstitutional and thus illegal.

Trump set the precedent that he would fire Senate appointed executive branch officers, and just promote one of his lackeys to the position on an interim basis, and never go back to the Senate to confirm a replacement.

The Trump principle applies to any political hacks you think a partisan Republican House has the right to appoint

Only Trump dick suckers choose to be unaware that Trump used interim appointments to put his lackeys in key positions and bypass conventional Senate confirmation.

I encourage Biden to use the Trump precedent as much as neccessary.

It's common knowledge to anyone who reads news.

More importantly, you are the type that would never admit you were wrong and I was correct, even if I went to the trouble of getting a link.

You are a bad faith poster who lacks character.

If it is "common" as you clam, then you should easily be able to find a QUOTE and post it here for all to see. Not just some dumb click bait link.

But go ahead, keep it a secret.
