Biden’s DOJ Succession Order: Procedural Move or Political Gambit?

This executive order establishes a new order of succession for the Attorney General’s office, outlining four U.S. Attorneys who will temporarily assume the role if the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, Associate Attorney General, and any designated officers are unable to perform their duties. The order explicitly excludes acting U.S. Attorneys and those ineligible under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. President Biden retains the discretion to deviate from this order as permitted by law. Finally, this order revokes Executive Order 13787 of March 31, 2017.

Trump’s Threat to Birthright Citizenship: Can He Legally Revoke It?

Despite repeated attempts by former President Trump to eliminate birthright citizenship via executive order, this is constitutionally impossible. The 14th Amendment explicitly grants citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. and subject to its jurisdiction, a principle affirmed repeatedly by the Supreme Court. Attempts to overturn this would require a constitutional amendment, not executive action. This right applies equally to children of all parents, regardless of immigration status, reflecting a foundational aspect of American equality.

Trump Plans Swift Purge of Trans Troops Post-Inauguration

Upon assuming office, Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order removing transgender service members from the military, reversing President Biden’s policy. This action would affect approximately 15,000 transgender individuals currently serving, exacerbating existing recruitment shortfalls and potentially costing billions of dollars in retraining and lost experience. The order is part of a broader agenda targeting LGBTQ+ rights, including restrictions on healthcare and sports participation for transgender youth. Experts warn this policy will harm military readiness and unit cohesion.

Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Threat: Can He Ignore the 14th Amendment?

President-elect Trump aims to end birthright citizenship via executive order, mandating at least one US citizen parent for automatic citizenship and denying benefits to children of two undocumented parents. Legal experts overwhelmingly believe this action would violate the 14th Amendment and the precedent set by *United States v. Wong Kim Ark*, rendering it likely unsuccessful in court. The proposed order could affect millions of children in mixed-status families, disproportionately impacting those of Mexican and Central American descent. Ending birthright citizenship would require a constitutional amendment, a politically improbable feat.

Trump’s Executive Order Sparks Fears of Military Purge

The proposed executive order, which mirrors a 1940 system intended for officer development, would expedite the removal of military officials deemed lacking in leadership qualities. While the order leaves the definition of these qualities vague, it raises concerns about potential abuse for political purposes. Critics warn that such a system could be used to purge dissenting voices and create a military leadership solely loyal to the administration’s agenda, potentially undermining the integrity and independence of the armed forces. The order’s implementation remains uncertain, but its potential to politicize the military has sparked widespread debate and alarm.

Trump Plans to Purge Generals with Loyalty Board, Raising Concerns of Military Coup

A draft executive order circulated by Donald Trump proposes the creation of a board tasked with removing military generals and admirals deemed lacking in “requisite leadership qualities.” This proposal has sparked significant concerns and raised alarm bells across the political spectrum.

The primary concern is that this board, rather than focusing on genuine leadership qualities, would be used to purge the military of individuals who do not exhibit unwavering loyalty to Trump. Such a move would effectively undermine the integrity of the military, turning it into a tool for the president’s personal agenda rather than a protector of the Constitution.

Critics argue that this purge would be akin to the actions of dictatorships, where the military is stripped of its independence and forced to serve the whims of the ruling party.… Continue reading

Republicans Who Denounced Biden For Using Too Many Executive Orders Now Urge Him To Use Executive Orders Because They Don’t Want To Legislate

But now that President Biden is utilizing executive orders, these same Republicans are singing a different tune, decrying the “record number” of orders and claiming that Biden is abusing his power. The blatant double standard is both frustrating and indicative of a larger problem within the Republican party.… Continue reading
