This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

It’s long past time you all stopped using “Congress” when you mean “Republicans”. Not a single Democrat voted for this hot mess of an appointment. This endless grind to maintain a non-partisan tone, despite the partisanship of our fascist reality, is willfully blind, & a betrayal of your country.

1. Individual freedom over the power of the state. 2. The rule of law and fidelity to a liberal constitutional order. 3. Incremental change and respect for the positive aspects of history and tradition. There are more, but I don’t think today’s GOP shares any of these three
