Im sure the Founders simply thought that Congress would just impeach and remove the officials in these circumstances. Its flabbergasting that Congress wanted a law this much, but doesn't care to enforce its own preferences

This is fucking appalling, and Democrats and ~small-government~ Republicans should be shutting the government down over this ongoing, pointless, expensive, anti-freedom, anti-democracy move by Trump. This is not a legitimate use of the military, and everyone knows it.
