And then the house did the following. Those 5 that were fired, might have wrongful termination suits

House passes legislation to decriminalize marijuana at federal level

The House of Representatives voted 228-164 to pass the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act Friday morning, the first time either chamber of Congress has ever voted to decriminalize marijuana.

Very Interesting. The Biden Administration had plans to legalize marijuana in the next 3 years. They must have taken a u-turn. I wonder why???

Hunter preferred crack...


Maybe they get more kickbacks from the cartels than the legal types?

Just out of curiosity, can the president fire the vice president for cause? Has that ever been done in history? Will the cancel culture get after kamel toe?

Guess not- from online article


No. Under the Constitution, the President cannot fire the Vice President.

The President could REQUEST the Vice President to resign, and if (s)he did not, could humiliate them by publicizing whatever the presumably horrid reasons were for the request… relying on public outrage to force the Vice President out. Note that President Nixon basically did this to Vice President Spiro T. Agnew when Agnew was implicated in some bribery scandals.

The ultimate threat to Agnew was of course that he would have to endure the torture of an impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate, if convicted of bribery back in his home state (since impeachment is for “high crimes and misdemeanors), and so leaving quietly via resignation was the less humiliating alternative to that. No one wants to go down in history as the first Vice President to be successfully impeached and removed from office.

Note in passing here that President Bill Clinton was impeached and forced to stand trial in the Senate for a felony conviction — he had committed perjury in a deposition having to do with the Monica Lewinsky scandal. That felony conviction was what opened Clinton up to be impeached, not the affair with a White House intern. “Crimes” count, whether or not we happen to like the President (or, here, the Vice President) does not matter. Impeachment is not like a “vote of no confidence” in the Parliamentary systems of government, it requires some actual crime before it can be invoked.

Another possibility in our hypothetical case would be that the President could pick another running mate for his/her re-election campaign, if this happened during the President’s first term of office. If it occurred during the second term, the President would have little leverage to force the Vice President out of office absent an impeachable offense.

If you can be motivated, engaged, and present...smoke it up. If not...not.
