Peter Welch: “Firing government employees subject who have civil service…”

“Freezing federal spending, clearly unconstitutional. Shutting down agencies created by Congress with no authority to do so. Removing leaders of agencies, including inspector generals, against the clear requirements of law. Firing government employees subject who have civil service protections. Threatening to deport people based on their political views. Revoking by executive authority birthright citizenship. These are just some of the actions that the President has taken where he has no authority to do so.” (02:20–02:27)
