@ErikJonker what does "illegaly fired" mean here? No jurisdiction? No notice? ...?
Independent agencies are intentionally created outside of the executive branch. As such, they are not covered by presidential agency. Congress must debate and pass a motion of dismissal, to fire someone.
That's the meaning of "independent".
@shaknais @ErikJonker thanks, so in this case the executive had no authority, right? Isn't it that the employee is simply not fired. (I appreciate that the phrase "illegally fired" is used because people sort of get what it is about.) Perhaps comparable to the police telling me I'm fired, although I work for a plumber. I'm trying to understand how this legally works out. An illegal firing to me is when there is no cause, or the employer violates the employment contract/law. No?
The employee remains fired, because the one who would enforce whether they may return to work or not, is the one who has illegally fired them.
There's a presidential order, that shouldn't be in effect, being enforced.
Like the police chief firing the plumber, but the police chief also being the landowner and stationing security on the perimeter of their rentee's property.
@shaknais @ErikJonker very good, got it.
