His oath was devised by congress, is not in the constitution, unlike the oath by the Pres.. Congress can penalize him, just as they did in the Civil War when secessionists violated their oaths. They can change the structure of any agency under the pres given all appointees take that same Congress-devised oath.

They have to count their votes, have their ducks in a row, before acting however.

49-49 in the Senate on tariffs a week or so ago made clear T. has no mandate. More Repubs will be jumping ship as they see more ridiculous and awful things.

Just this past week, more jumped. Three new Repubs joined with the anti-tariff people to oppose the Gulf of Mexico nonsense that T. used as an excuse to deny APnews.com admission to journalist briefings. (The AP has state-by-state maps of electoral results so you can pick out the areas where jumps will be easiest. How dare they do that! act like they understand geography? )

Florida voted for T, but, But, BUT, the big circles for two Tampa-area districts on the AP map were barely red. They were, thus, barely for T, his majority in those two not huge, so they will be swingable?

Of those deeply red in FL last election, might they switch, if too many are denied insurance money, denied FEMA money for Florida's risk of repeated hurricane damage? Why doesn't T stand up for them.
