      My guess is that it isn’t the firing that’s temporary, it’s the permission. As in, the President can do that as long as it’s Trump, but it stops being allowed if a Democrat gets in office.

      (That’s probably not what they’ll claim it means, but I bet that’s how it’ll work in practice.)

      Fuck your for making me read the article to grab a quote!

      Roberts issued the temporary, administrative stay because he handles emergency appeals arising from the nation’s capital by default.

      His order contained no explanation, as is typical, and it does not necessarily indicate how the court will decide the case. Roberts ordered Slaughter’s lawyers to respond in writing by next Monday.

      It sounds like “Trump has the temporary power to fire whoever, but no one after that!”

        It means the chair is fired but the law suit over the firing will continue and if they win the lawsuit they will be reinstated otherwise they stay fired.

      Im assuming basically saying something along the line of “this one time you’re allowed to fire someone, but next time you have to go through the proper channels”
