Donald Trump has fired the acting US attorney general, after she questioned the legality of his immigration ban.

Sally Yates, who had been appointed under Barack Obama, earlier ordered justice department lawyers not to enforce the president's executive order.

In a statement, the White House said Ms Yates had "betrayed" the department.

For those keeping score at home, this is not unprecedented. The last president to do this? Nixon.

He has done what any other employer will do. They are suppose to follow a chain of commands. And whomever breaks that command, should be relieved from their duties. And Abraham Lincoln had fired many Generals for not obeying his command. But until General Grant had came along. The one that has given Abraham Lincoln's wife Mary her husband's pension and which the next president after Lincoln did not wanted to give her after her husband's death. That was trying to make a whore out her her.

Yeah, Lincoln should not have fired those Generals for not wanting to fight against their white brothers for the sake of the Black slaves. But I had thought that you libs are against mistreatment of other race?

I take it that you are not aware of the principle of Separation of Powers?

Separation of powers under the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

The POTUS is commander in chief of the armed forces, but not of the judiciary.

Does it take "being a lib" now to want to avoid dictatorships?

That is correct, and the President can remove the Attorney General at any time. However, I still question his timing considering she was going to be gone soon anyways. This can only serve to flare tempers, and his reason can be view as coercion towards the DOJ.
