Congressional watchdog finds acting DHS chief Wolf and senior aide Cuccinelli not legally qualified to hold their jobs.

Federal laws spell out who can take over when vacancies occur in positions held by officials who are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, such as Cabinet secretaries and their deputies. The law that created the Department of Homeland Security, the Homeland Securities Act, provides an order of succession when a vacancy arises in the position of secretary.

In response to a lawsuit, a federal judge ruled in May that Cuccinelli was unlawfully appointed to his previous position as head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a Homeland Security agency. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Friday said Wolf and Cuccinelli should resign from their positions and called on the DHS inspector general to conduct"a top to bottom legal review" of their decisions and report the findings to Congress.

“The determination by an independent congressional watchdog today invalidates actions Mr. Cuccinelli and Mr. Wolf have taken and both should immediately step down from their illegal roles," he said.

Partisan hackery by congressional poodle that has no force of law.

Does that mean DHS_Wolf was not eligible to send stormtroopers to Portland?

That's all Drumpf has, acting directors. Otherwise the Senate would reject these picks of lobbyists and donors

When do they plan to resign?

Seems like no one is qualified nor working for the best of this country
