This woman should be fired obviously she is doing a terrible job. Since she isn’t confirmed fire her.

[@SuperSpikejack]

Fail up.

[@PerfidiousPuffin]

Fired? Jailed.

[@ibuguru]

An "acting" who is refused confirmation by Senate must depart immediately. This is nonsense. Su should never have been confirmed as Deputy, and has proven to be grossly incompetent. OUT.

[@monotech20.14]

She wasn't refused by the Senate. For what? Protecting workers and not he donors and lobbyist who bought off Republicans?

Exactly! If you become an acting department head, you have 12-18 months based on reviews from Congress or the House, PERIOD. But you have got to be confirmed at that 12 months to keep your job. These people who get the jobs only because they were selected to be acting doesn't mean you get to keep that position

If he's going to complain, he should be complaining that her position is not constitutional. There is no constitutional authority for a Secretary of Labor. Being a Republicans, and not a Conservative, of course, he doesn't care about that. He only references the Constitution, when he thinks he can use it against someone, or protect his own job with it.
