Regarding your last sentence, I think it's plausible that a secret auction was held: Betsy, Wilbur, Rex, Steve, Texas Oil (Perry), Montanto and Dow (Pruitt) and all the Goldman Sachs gang, accompanying a cadre of generals.

Executive power when it comes to firing and hiring is virtually limitless with the emphasis on virtually. Granted power used for nefarious purpose can become illegal.

It's the abuse of those powers that has put tRump in legal jeopardy.

at that time. Now he is claiming what is in your OP.

Newt was not in Congress until 1979.

The bullshit they come up with

Article ll, Section 4 of the Constitution does not preclude the president from being impeached for obstruction of justice, where such obstruction warrants impeachment as bad behavior (misdemeanor) on the part of the president, whether or not the legal threshold of obstruction of justice is realized.

Impeachment is a political – not legal – process.

Indeed, Trump may be impeached for any number of misdemeanors pursuant to Article ll, Section 4: his baseless attacks of the judiciary, his providing Russia with sensitive intelligence in violation of this oath of office, his incessant lying, and his firing of Comey in an effort to undermine the Russia investigation have all reflected poorly on the presidency and demonstrated Trump unfit to be president, where his removal from office via the impeachment process is more than justified.

Trump’s providing Russian officials with sensitive intelligence in violation of this oath of office alone merits impeachment and conviction in the Senate.
