The DOJ has asked SCOTUS to give the president unprecedented powers to fire independent agency heads.

But Ethan Leib & I note the Constitution's presidential duty of faithful execution, which empowers Congress to guard against presidential bad faith.

2/ This argument builds on our history of the faithful execution clauses by @andrewkent33, Leib, & me.

The history shows this phrase signaled duties of care, loyalty, good faith, as well as deference to the legislature - similar to fudiciary duties.

@andrewkent33 3/ We also cite @jdmortenson's outstanding recent article, "Article II Vests Executive Power, Not the Royal Prerogative." This thorough history indicates "executive power" requires more deference to Congress's choices, and not implicit royalist powers.
