Wouldn't surprise me.

I mean, Stephen Miller will be in the most powerful staff position in the Executive Branch as Deputy Chief of Staff.

(The difference between the 'Deputy' and the 'Chief' is that Chiefs of Staff have no direct positional authority. They must act in their superior's name and refer everything back to that superior for decisions. Deputies have positional authority and can make decisions to move priorities, programs or projects ahead.)

Illegally, without Senate approval (as required by law), Trump is forming the most extreme, far right cabinet in history. (Recall also that Miller was [asked] to resign last time, due to Congress pressure.)

He was forced to resign? I thought he was the speechwriter for Trump's January 6th speech.

I see now that he didn't resign, though there were many who asked that he resign.

There was a report that he was pushed out of a cabinet post by congresspeople, but I cannot find it.

Does it matter to anyone that he's been central to Trump's decision-making in the previous presidency and will be again for four years?

How is it already illegal?? He can get anyone through that he wants, he is just stating who is being put forth for what jobs.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but we really need to stop the obstructionism. It's just as bad as Republicans. The people have spoken and it's time to obey the will of the people and let him govern.
