Thank you for having me.
And I want to make it very clear at the jump that I am in no way associated with Joe's opinions about the Hamilton musical.
It's horrible history.
And by association, I'm not going to subscribe to the musical itself is good absent the content.
Just chuck it all out.
That's all.
That's it.
Hey, count me in a second and I might change my mind.
I do want to tackle the specific thing in your question.
Basically, what you're referring to is a kind of policy justification for insulating
officers from direct presidential removal, but that's not necessarily the legal framework in which this is structured.
Now, obviously, it's inextricable.
There are policy justifications for various things, but
At root, it was the question of what legal powers does Congress have to structure things in the executive branch without just sort of the direct command of the executive branch?
And to bring up that point about Myers and Humphrey's executor, this quasi-judicial language and quasi-legislative language was—
was an attempt to kind of thread the needle between not fully overturning Myers, but getting the substantive policy thing that you would want to carve out and make that more limited.
And in a lot of ways, that attempt to make a decision where what they wanted, where the removal protections were quote-unquote consistent with Myers, are in some ways why we're in the situation we are in today.
And of course, we can talk more about that.
I don't think it's a fluke, but I don't think it is has actually much to do with law.
Yeah, I think it's an I think it's an ideological thing.
