Donald Trump has to fire her. Is that what you mean?

Stop it with the "sources." The ENTIRE question here is whether this is on the record. What has OFFICIALLY happened.

Probably it’s Stephen Miller - he seems to make the vast majority of the decisions

When it’s not Miller, it’s JD Vance speaking as the avatar for the tech billionaire class.

Is there a NDD for the President? I.E. if Trump said "hey my COS firing someone means me firing them until further notice" would this make firings by his COS effective?

I think the answer is yes, the President probably can delegate power to a deputy as long as the President can always pull that power back. But I also don't love the NDD anyway so don't ask me.

It would be the caretaker for President Trump who manages his diapers, medications and wipes up his drool in the evenings when he gets really bad. When urgent issues are brought by staff to this nursing assistant, she nods her head, says something soothing to the President & says,"Ok, do it"

Not so quickly or quietly … Image of Susan Monarez, Director of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Statement from Mark S. Zaid & Abbe David Lowell, Counsel for CDC Director Susan Monarez, August 27, 2025 - 7:03 pm ET: First it was independent advisory committees and career experts. Then it was the dismissal of seasoned scientists. Now, Secretary Kennedy and HHS have set their sights on weaponizing public health for political gain and putting millions of American lives at risk. When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts she chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda. For that, she has been targeted. Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor received notification from the White House that she has been fired, and as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign.

Imagine getting fired because you do not want to be complicit in harming Americans.

Why not say the president fired her? Was he not up? So they used the auto pen?
