Saturday Night Massacre - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

During a single evening on Saturday, October 20, Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Archibald Cox; Richardson refused and resigned effective immediately. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Cox; Ruckelshaus refused, and also resigned. Nixon then ordered the third-most-senior official at the Justice Department, Solicitor General Robert Bork, to fire Cox. Bork carried out the dismissal as Nixon asked.[2] Bork stated that he intended to resign afterward, but was persuaded by Richardson and Ruckelshaus to stay on for the good of the Justice Department.[3][4]

当年司法部前后三个领导人为了对抗尼克松连续辞职，并引以为荣，都是以国家利益和个人诚实为本，全体民众也支持这些人，现在所有的官员不仅赖在台上，被fire还死皮赖脸打官司，民众很多也支持fire。

如果是和川总打官司，也是一种抗争。就像最近的美联储理士库克，川普fire她都不一定合法，为什么不打官司

关键不是辞职，而是缺乏只忠于国家不忠于领导，对抗川总的深层政府了，特别是那些行政机关

美联储有相对的独立性，Trump是否有权fire她还另说了。。。有史以来只有美联储成员自己辞职的，还没有被解雇的先例。。。Cook说了她不会辞职，现在就看美联储主席和其他成员的表态了。。。

Trump的内阁成员就不一样了，他们必须serve the pleasure of the President。。。Trump让你下台，二话不说就得走人。。。

不过，最近Trump基本不fire自己任命的人了，如果不满意，就送去某个国家当大使。。。

Since a Federal Reserve governor serves a 14-year term, they can only be removed "for cause," a legal standard that has not been tested and proved. Lisa Cook has already stated that she plans to file a lawsuit to challenge the firing and is seeking a court injunction to block Trump's decision immediately.

If a court grants an injunction, she could be allowed to continue her duties while the legal battle proceeds, a process that could potentially reach the Supreme Court.

Bottom line: Trump can fire Lisa Cook, but only the courts can make a final ruling.

Presidents could oust governors whom they dislike and replace them with trump loyalists, turning interest rates, inflation, and banking rules into tools of politics instead of economics

Why is President Trump's attempt to fire Fed Governor Cook? Because it would give Trump-appointed Fed Governors the MAJORITY on the Fed board of 4 of 7 Fed governors.

As Trump said today: “We will have the majority, shortly, on the Fed board.”
