Could Trump fire Pence? (read details)

Asked by elbanditoroso (33154points) September 9th, 2018

I think the answer is definitively “no” but it presents an interesting legal question.

Suppose, arguendo, that it was Mike Pence who wrote the anonymous op-ed to the New York Times.

Trump wants to fire the author of the piece and turn him/her over to the Justice Department.

Pence, however, is an elected official – not a government appointee or employee.

Could Pence be fired?
