The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

BHM persists: "I simply believe The President has a right to designate agents to act on his authority..."

No one disputes that. The issue is about what those agents are legally permitted to do. - Mr F

Agree.

It isn't up to the President to grant them security clearance - Mr F

Actually I think granting and revoking security clearances is within his authority.

=====

or grant them the power to freeze disbursements authorized by Congress. - Mr F

I would put it this way, "The President cannot delegate authorities that he himself does not possess."

This is not (yet) the Roman Empire.

Give the man a break, today is just the end of his second week in office. It's been real busy but he will get around to it. I hope he brings back the Colosseum but with bigger and more spectacular battles than the Romans. It will be the best Colosseum ever.
