Can president fire the speaker of the house?

Answer 1

No, the president cannot fire a senator or a congressman. The reason being that they are our elected officials, and doing so would be unconstitutional. If a president could fire a congressman or senator there would be no point in having a congress, for the president could just fire anyone that does not agree with him. By doing so, whatever he wants gets passed, making him a tyrant, which stands against everything this country stands for.

Answer 2

No, he has no legal powers over who acts as a majority leader in the legislative branch. Article 1 of the US Constitution gives each House of Congress the power to adopt its own rules and elect its own officers. The President does not appoint the majority leader. That position is not a governmental position, like the Speaker of the House or President pro tempore of the Senate, therefore it is not a job from which they can be fired, especially if the majority leader is of a different political party than the President. But for all practical purposes, if the majority leader and the President are of the same political party, he probably has enough political power over that leader to ask him or her to resign and out of deference to the President, he or she probably would.

Answer 3

Not normally.

BUT perhaps in the case of a National Emergency he will take advantage of this legislation...

"The John Warner Defense Authorization Act: This act officially allows the President to override all state and local authority and station troops anywhere in America as well as relinquishes the National Guard of control without the consent

of the Governor or local authorities in order to "suppress public disorder". The law also facilitates militarized police round-ups and detention of protesters, so called "illegal aliens," "potential terrorists" and other "undesirables" for detention in facilities currently under construction by Halliburton."

Answer 4

Senators can be fired. It is called expulsion and begins when a committee takes on a resolution to expel a senator.

Answer 5

Not in the US. It may be allowable in other countries. But the Congress is elected by the people to serve as a balance for the other two branches.

Answer 6

Nope. The Speaker does not work for the President. The Speaker is part of the Legislative branch, President is head of the Executive branch. They were both elected to office.

Answer 7

no they cannot.
