A crash course in Article II

Byron York, Washington Examiner

Like an earlier decision overruling a ruling by a U.S. district judge in California that would

have stopped the president from firing virtually any federal worker, and like yet another decision stopping another judge’s order that the administration rehire more than 16,000 probationary workers, the Department of Education case is a lesson in what Article II means. The president has the basic constitutional authority to run the executive branch, no matter how many lawsuits the activists on the other side throw at him.
