#2> " … The executive power of the United States is vested to me as President and, as President, I have a solemn duty that the laws of the United States are faithfully enacted,” the president wrote in the letter to Cook.
Be. Executed. Be faithfully executed. That's why the president is the chief executive, not the chief enactor.
Not exactly the constitutional scholar Obama was. But, in light of the recent "executive order to make flag-burning a criminal offense", perhaps this is a pertinent and revealing Freudian slip.

#3Tries to fire. Up to the courts to rule on the legality of this so the Supreme Court can give trump what he wants.

#4Tries to fire, but he doesn’t have the legal authority to fire

#5Trump has what, 3 and a bit years as POTUS?
All this power grabbing is setting himself up for what? In 3.5 years he is out the door and an election will be held with presumably Vance as the POTUS nom.
If you play the tape out and, as expected, the GOP is massacred at mid-terms, and Dems get in their pick in at the next election I would expect all this to be undone.
What is the point?
And I reject any argument that Trump will take the POTUS position for a third term. It won't happen.

You are very much right.
But Trump tried to fire Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board and the Supreme Court killed her case in the shadow docket.

Are you sure about that ?
Because if history is any indication, he's on a straight path every single dictator and strongman walked before becoming one. He has set on fire every single US institution and the rule of law. He is the law now.
It doesn't end well. Maybe it won't be him, but his son, who knows. But there is no good outcome out of it. Zero. He's not loosing another election.

Trump occasionally speaks wise words. People DO love dictators- at least until they go cuckoo and start wars and have public executions.

SOME people like the idealized concept of a dictator. Those people are fools.
